{"product_id":"the-snakes-pass-a-critical-edition-9780815634140","title":"The Snake's Pass: A Critical Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1890, \u003ci\u003eThe Snake's Pass\u003c\/i\u003e was published in serialized form in the periodical \u003ci\u003eThe People\u003c\/i\u003e. It is the story of Arthur Severn, an Englishman who has inherited wealth and a title through an aunt who took him under her wing to the exclusion of closer relations. His inheritance includes land in Ireland, and now that he is a man of leisure, he decides to tour the west of Ireland. As Bram Stoker's first full-length novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Snake's Pass \u003c\/i\u003eis a heady blend of romance, travel narrative, adventure tale, folk tradition, and national tale. This early novel shows that, long before \u003ci\u003eDracula, \u003c\/i\u003e Stoker used the genre of the novel to engage with questions of identity, gender, ethnic stereotype, and imperialism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this critical edition, Buchelt offers detailed and studied insight into both the novel and Stoker's life, demonstrating the significance of \u003ci\u003eThe Snake's Pass\u003c\/i\u003e within the canon of late Victorian literature. The supplementary textual notes, scholarly material, and critical responses enhance the novel without distracting from the text. Readers will find a complexly layered and nuanced work that presents a pointed critique of British cultural attitudes and political positions concerning the Irish and Ireland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisabeth C.
