William Beckford Vathek an Arabian Tale Introduction "At the first glimpse of dawn he hastened to the prison, again to importune this intractable stranger; but the rage of Vathek exceeded all bounds on finding the prison empty, the grates burst asunder, and his guards lying lifeless around him. In the paroxysm of his passion he fell furiously on the poor carcasses, and kicked them till evening without intermission" ( Vathek William Beckford, now known mainly for his peculiar Oriental tale Vathek , was born to the lord mayor of London in 1759 and from the outset lived a life of enormous wealth and notoriety. His father had made his fortune in the West Indies and was one of the richest men in England. Beckford, inheriting the wealth, began to lead a life of considerable extravagance. Scandal surrounded his life as an MP, traveller and collector. Travelling in Switzerland and Italy in the late 1770s, he met Lady Catherine Hamilton who was to become a friend and advisor and stayed with her and her husband as he would later in less salubrious circumstances. In England he found himself at the centre of the "Powderham Scandal", after his relationship with the thirteen year-old William Courtenay became well known. Remarkably, Beckford decided to stay in England temporarily at Fonthill Abbey, his vast Gothic home. However, a year later he was effectively forced to leave the country. Beckford married Lady Margaret Gordon in 1783 and became a Member of Parliament in England the next year. His wife died not long after the birth of their second daughter and he roamed on the continent again for over a decade spending as freely as was his lifelong wont. During this time he wrote

M. THE HISTORY OF THE CALIPH VATHEK Vathek, ninth Caliph of the race of the Abassides, was the son of Motassem, and the grandson of Haroun Al Raschid. From an early accession to the throne, and the talents he possessed to adorn it, his subjects were induced to expect that his reign would be long and happy. His figure was pleasing and majestic; but when he was angry one of his eyes became so terrible that no person could bear to behold it, and the wretch upon whom it was fixed instantly fell backward, and sometimes expired. For fear, however, of depopulating his dominions and making his palace desolate he but rarely gave way to his anger. Being much addicted to women and the pleasures of the table, he sought by his affability to procure agreeable companions; and he succeeded the better as his generosity was unbounded, and his indulgences unrestrained, for he was by no means scrupulous, nor did he think with the Caliph Omar Ben Abdalaziz that it was necessary to make a hell of this world to enjoy Paradise in the next.
