''James''s tales can be traps and ruses; they can also be complex self-descriptions in which his own fears and desires have full reign''Frances Wilson, from her Preface to The Beast in the Jungle & Other TalesThis collection is made up of the later works in Henry James''s repertoire, into which he threw the full weight of his creative fears - notably those concerned with the life he missed out on while distilling his experiences into literature. The stories explore the stairwells of the mind, where consciousness is figured as a place, where one could, terrifyingly, encounter one''s alter ego. Tales such as ''The Beast in the Jungle'' and ''The Jolly Corner'' in this collection are such horror stories of the self. James'' obsession with confrontation and escape is evident throughout this volume, often with marriage as the central tenet, as in ''The Bench of Desolation''. They are not without comedy, however, as with the wild goose chase which makes up the central narrative in ''The Figure in the Carpet''.Frances Wilson has selected these eleven stories and provided an original introduction to James''s work.

`Upon her neck and breast was blood, and upon her throat were the marks of teeth having opened the vein: - to this the men pointed, crying, simultaneously struck with horror, "a Vampyre, a Vampyre!"'' John Polidori''s classic tale of the vampyre was a product of the same ghost-story competition that produced Mary Shelley''s Frankenstein. Set in Italy, Greece, and London, Polidori''s tales is a reaction to the dominating presence of his employer Lord Byron, and transformed the figure of the vampire from the bestial ghoul of earlier mythologies into the glamorous aristocrat whose violence and sexual allure make him literally a ''lady-killer''. Polidori''s tale introduced the vampire into English fiction, and launched a vampire craze that has never subsided. `The Vampyre'' was first published in 1819 in the London New Monthly Magazine. The present volume selects thirteen other tales of the macabre first published in the leading London and Dublin magazines between 1819 and 1838, including Edward Bulwer''s chilling account of the doppelganger, Letitia Landon''s elegant reworking of the Gothic romance, William Carleton''s terrifying description of an actual lynching, and James Hogg''s ghoulish exploitation of the cholera epidemic of 1831-2.

Offering a window into the world of ordinary Athenians, Aristophanes'' The Birds and Other Plays is a timeless set of comedies, combining witty satire and raucous slapstick to wonderful effect. This Penguin Classics edition is translated from the Greek by David Barrett and Alan H. Sommerstein.The plays in this volume all contain Aristophanes'' trademark bawdy comedy and dazzling verbal agility. In The Birds, two cunning Athenians persuade the birds to build the utopian city of ''Much Cuckoo in the Clouds'' in the sky, blockading the Olympian gods and installing themselves as new deities. The Knights is a venomous satire on Cleon, a prominent Athenian demagogue, who vies with a humble sausage-seller for the approval of the people; while The Assembly-Women deals with the battle of the sexes as the women of Athens infiltrate the all-male Assembly in disguise. The lengthy conflict with Sparta is the subject of Peace, inspired by the hope of a settlement in 421 BC, and Wealth reflects on the economic catastrophe that hit Athens after the war.These lively translations by David Barrett and Alan H. Sommerstein capture the full humour of the plays. The introduction examines Aristophanes'' life and times, and the comedy and poetry of ... Unknown localization key: "more"
