Bøger af Rosa Mulholland

Charles Dickens udsendte fra 1859 til sin død bladet "All the Year Round", der dels indeholdt Dickens egne værker, dels noveller og føljetoner af samtidens større og mindre ånder. Hvert år udkom der et "ekstra julenummer", der som regel indeholdt een lang fortælling, hvor Dickens skrev en rammehistorie, og en eller flere andre forfattere fyldte indhold på. Mrs. Lirripers arv er en af disse - en slags "2. del" af Mrs. Lirripers værelser - og stammer fra julenummeret 1864. Indhold: Mrs. Lirriper fortæller, hvorledes det gik hende, og hvorledes hun kom til at rejse udenlands. (Charles Dickens) Mrs. Lirriper får en meddelelse om, at en hende ubekendt person ligger for døden et sted i Frankrig, og at hun skal arve ham. Hun drager sammen med Jemmy og majoren afsted og tilbringer en "ferie" i byen Sens hos den døende. En forhenværende logerende fortæller en forunderlig historie om en doktor. (Charles Collins) Dr. Bertrand driver forretning ved at arrangere middagsselskaber for folk, der af den ene eller anden grund har besluttet at begå selvmord. Dagen efter at have deltaget i et sådant selskab er deltagerne døde. Den unge Alfred de Clerval, der lider af kærestesorger, beslutter at frekventere lægen. Nok en forhenværende logerende fortæller, hvad han oplevede som fattig slægtning. (Rosa Mulholland) Da en fattig slægtning indfinder sig på Rutland Hall for at indlogere sig hos sin rige fætter, finder han ikke andre hjemme end det invalide plejebarn Teecie Ray. Nok en forhenværende logerende fortæller, hvilket lod han trak i Glumper House. (Henry Spicer) Drengene på Glumper House er utilfredse med den noget særprægede forplejning. Noget må gøres, og man bliver enige om at henlede forældrenes opmærksomhed på problemet ved at lade en blandt sig stikke af og meddele sine forældre årsagen. Valget falder på Charles Trelawny, der fortæller om sine oplevelser som flygtning. Nok en forhenværende logerende fortæller sin egen spøgelseshistorie. (Amelia Edwards) På sin bryllupsrejse farer en jæger vild i en snestorm i det skotske højland. Han er dog så heldig at møde en tjener fra et nærliggende hus, hvor han får husly. Nok en forhenværende logerende fortæller sin mand visse begivenheder. (Hesba Stretton) Jane Scott fortæller, hvordan hun blev gift med sin højtelskede mand pastor Owen. Det er en noget mere dramatisk historie, end den stilfærdige fortællemåde lader ane. Mrs. Lirriper fortæller, hvorledes Jemmy sluttede. (Charles Dickens) Jemmy fortæller sin version af den afdødes levned.

In the late-nineteenth century Rosa Mulholland (1841-1921) achieved great popularity and acclaim for her many novels, written for both an adult audience and younger readers. Several of these novels chronicled the lives of the poor, often incorporating rural Irish settings and folklore. Earlier in her career, Mulholland became one of the select band of authors employed by Charles Dickens to write stories for his popular magazine All the Year Round, together with Wilkie Collins, Elizabeth Gaskell, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, and Amelia B. Edwards. Mulholland's best supernatural and weird short stories have been gathered together in the present collection, edited and introduced by Richard Dalby, to celebrate this gifted late Victorian "Mistress of the Macabre".

Irish women have long produced literature of the gothic, uncanny, and supernatural. Bending to Earth draws together twelve such tales. While none of the authors herein were considered primarily writers of fantastical fiction during their lifetimes, they each wandered at some point in their careers into more speculative realms - some only briefly, others for lengthier stays.Names such as Charlotte Riddell and Rosa Mulholland will already be familiar to aficionados of the eerie, while Katharine Tynan and Clotilde Graves are sure to gain new admirers. From a ghost story in the Swiss Alps to a premonition of death in the West of Ireland to strange rites in a South Pacific jungle, Bending to Earth showcases a diverse range of imaginative writing which spans the better part of a century.
