What is Tales of Wonder (Broadview Editions) about?
In the late eighteenth century, Matthew Gregory “Monk” Lewis, a notorious author of lurid Gothic novels and plays, began to gather this collection of horror ballads. Including original and traditional works, translations and adaptations, and even burlesques of the Gothic, this “hobgoblin repast,” as Lewis called it, brings together a fascinating assortment of works. Contributors include Lewis, the young Walter Scott, William Taylor of Norwich, John Leyden, and Robert Southey. Appendices contain selections from __Tales of Terror__ (1801), a text long intertwined with Lewis’s collection; information on Scott’s __An Apology for Tales of Terror__ (1799); and parodies and reviews of Lewis’s particular brand of Gothic poetry.
