Vathek with The Episodes of Vathek (Paperback)

William Beckford's Vathek is a touchstone of eighteenth-century Orientalism and of the Gothic novel. Beckford's later work, The Episodes of 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 centres on male-male love, as well as the previously published version that was re-written by Beckford as a heterosexual narrative. Based on the 1823 edition-the last one edited by the author himself-the Broadview Edition also introduces The Episodes in the order Beckford planned, and incorporates his final corrections.
