'Richard Marsh' (Richard Bernard Heldmann, 1857-1915) was a
bestselling, versatile and prolific author of gothic, crime,
adventure, romantic and comic fiction. This book, the first on
Marsh, establishes his credentials as a significant agent within
the fin de siecle gothic revival. Marsh's work spans a range of
gothic modes, including the canonical fin de siecle subgenres of
urban and imperial gothic and gothic-inflected sensation and
supernatural fiction, but also rarer hybrid genres such as the
comic gothic and the occult romance. His greatest success came in
1897 when he published his bestselling invasion narrative The
Beetle: A Mystery, a novel that articulated many of the key themes
of fin de siecle urban gothic and outsold its close rival, Bram
Stoker's Dracula, well into the twentieth century. The present work
extends studies of Marsh's literary production beyond The Beetle,
contending that, in addition to his undoubted interest in
non-normative gender and ethnic identities, Marsh was a writer with
an acute sense of spatiality, whose fiction can be read
productively through the lens of spatial theory.
