The five stories in In a Glass Darkly reflect a profound and deeply
disturbing uncertainty about the nature of humanity and its
relationship with spirituality. Originally published separately in
magazines, the stories are framed and linked in this collection as
cases in the papers of the fictional Dr. Hesselius. Sheridan Le
Fanu's approach to the supernatural re-works traditional Irish oral
storytelling and combines it with nineteenth-century adaptations of
the eighteenth-century Gothic novel. Appendices include Le Fanu's
correspondence about the stories, posthumous assessments of his
life and work, and twentieth-century critical commentaries by M.R.
James and Elizabeth Bowen. Engravings from the original serial
publications of several stories are also included.
