Frederick Marryat - The Werewolf "The Werewolf," a short story extracted from Frederick Marryat's novel The Phantom Ship (1839) . Reprinted many times since, often under alternative title of "The White Wolf of the Hartz Mountains," the tale chronicles the misfortunes of Krantz, A Hungarian nobleman's steward, who flees from Transylvania with his three children after murdering his unfaithful wife and lover. Captain Frederick Marryat was a Royal Navy officer and novelist. He is noted today as an early pioneer of nautical fiction, particularly for his semi-autobiographical novel Mr Midshipman Easy (1836). He is remembered also for his children's novel The Children of the New Forest (1847).

I am looking to hear from textual scholars who are editing the work of an author who could be considered ‘problematic’ within a 21C context for their views on gender, sexuality and race.

When he died in 1926, Lee left a legacy that every historian and biographer builds upon. He showed that truth, meticulously researched, is the greatest tribute to a life. #LiteraryHistory #Biography

During the interrogation, a stranger truth emerges:

Kaplan didn’t mean to kill a student.
He meant to shoot Max Brod, the man who defied Franz Kafka’s dying wish and gave the world his unfinished genius.

V.S. Pritchett - A story of Don Juan Don Juan, the legendary lover, stays at a lonely widowers house and... Don Juan, also known as Don Giovanni, is a legendary fictional Spanish libertine who devotes his life to seducing women. The original version of the story of Don Juan appears in the 1630 play El burlador de Sevilla y convidado de piedra by Tirso de Molina. The play includes most of the elements found and later adapted in subsequent works, including the setting, the characters, moralistic themes, and the dramatic ending in which Don Juan dines with and is then dragged down to hell by the stone statue of the father he had previously slain.

Rob McConnell Interviews - KATHERINE CHILJAN - Shakespeare Suppressed Katherine Chiljan is a researcher and author known for Shakespeare Suppressed, a work that challenges the traditional attribution of William Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets. Chiljan examines historical records, literary analysis, political context, and censorship pressures of the Elizabethan era to argue that alternative authorship candidates and inconvenient evidence were minimized or ignored. Her research explores how power, patronage, and social class may have shaped what became the accepted literary canon, inviting readers to reconsider authorship, authors’ identities, and how history decides which voices are preserved—or suppressed.
