Description:
Peterborough, ON: Broadview Press, 2001. Soft cover. As New. As New; William Beckford's Vathek is a touchstone of 18th century Orientalism and of the Gothic novel. Beckford's later work, The Episodes fo Vathek, shares Vathek's irreverent and decadent style, and an edition that unites the two has long been overdue. The Broadview edition includes a newly discovered early version of the first episode, never before in print, that centers on male-male love, as well the previously published version that was re-written by Beckford as a heterosexual narrative. This edition, based on that of 1823 - the last one edited by the author - also incorporates his final corrections.
