He was the great-nephew of the playwright Richard Sheridan. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and called to the bar in 1839, but chose instead to pursue a career in journalism. He began his writing career by publishing a number of stories anonymously in the Dublin University Magazine, which had been founded in 1833 by a group of Trinity College students. Le Fanu went on to purchase the magazine in 1861 and became its editor. From 1840 onwards he bought and edited the Warden and the Protestant Guardian , among other magazines and newspapers. His first two novels, The Cock and Anchor (1845) and Torlogh O'Brien (1847), followed the style of Sir Walter Scott. After purchasing the Dublin University Magazine, in which much of his writing was serialized, he wrote the tales that made him a bestseller. These novels use mystery and the supernatural to explore the psychological effects of fear, and often deal with a young, innocent person being drawn into a dangerous situation in which older people conspire to swindle and harm them, as in Uncle Silas (1864). His other works include

84. KISS Grammar -- Squire Toby’s Will, By J. Sheridan Le Fanu (Notes) Notes for Squire Toby’s Will, by J. sheridan le fanu (18141873). http://nweb.pct.edu/homepage/staff/evavra/kiss/wb/G10/Apr/D10/Notes.htm

The KISS Grammar Workbooks Back to April Menu Notes for "Squire Toby’s Will," by J. Sheridan Le Fanu Paragraph AK L2 AK L3 AK L4 + ... AK L4 + There are certainly more important literary works that deserve to be represented on this KISS site, but finding interesting stylistic passages in them will require some time. I happened to be reading J. Sheridan Le Fanu's Green Tea and Other Ghost Stories (available from Dover Publications) and encountered these passages. Their style struck me, so I decided to add them now. Part of what makes them interesting is simply the length of the main clauses. The first sentence (a single main clause) in the first paragraph is 95 words long. Even more striking, perhaps, is the fact that thirty-nine words separate the direct object ("passing") of the main verb ("will remember") from its direct object ("house"). Professional writers average about twenty words per main clause, so thirty-nine words are almost twice the average length, and here they are not a main clause, but rather an insertion between the main finite verb and part of its direct object. What's going on? The details in the rest of the first sentence (and the rest of the first paragraph) imply a variety of contrasts that may be intentionally unclear. These contrasts may be initiated in the "black-and-white" of the house, which could, by implication, suggest black

Editorial description(s): Book Description `the ideal reading...for the hours after midnight' Thus Henry James described the style of supernatural tale of which Sheridan Le Fanu was a master. Known in nineteenth-century Dublin as `The Invisible Prince' because of his reclusive and nocturnal habits, Le Fanu was fascinated by the occult. His writings draw on the Gothic tradition, elements of Irish folklore, and even on the social and political anxieties of his Anglo-Irish contemporaries. In exploring sometimes inexplicable terrors, the tales focus on the unease of the haunted men and women who encounter the supernatural, rather than on the origin or purpose of the visitant. This makes for spine-chilling reading.

93. M.R. James On Le Fanu Britain on March 16th, 1923. The speech was entitled The Novels and Stories of J. sheridan le fanu . MRJ s own abstract appeared in http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~pardos/ArchiveLeFanu.html

M.R. James on J.S. Le Fanu by M.R. James (from The following article is adapted from a lecture given by M.R. James at the weekly meeting of the Royal Institution of Great Britain on March 16th, 1923. The speech was entitled "The Novels and Stories of J. Sheridan Le Fanu". MRJ's own abstract appeared in Volume XXIV of the Institution's Proceedings , and was reprinted in Peter Haining's M.R. James: Book of the Supernatural (Foulsham, 1979). The notes for the lecture are in King's College Library, Cambridge, and were edited into article form for first publication in . For this web site version I have reinstated a few sections which were cut out in Reproduced by kind permission of N.J.R. James. Only one novelist known to me ever refers to Sheridan Le Fanu as an acknowledged authority or master in the particular line to which he devoted himself: the name of this writer is respectable but not more. It is James Payn. Probably if the works of Andrew Lang ever have a concordance made to them, the name of Le Fanu will be found to occur in it. But the fact remains that Le Fanu is not at the moment the occupier of any particular pedestal. There has never been a boom in his writings. I am not anxious for one, though if it comes I shall be prepared to concede the great author of booms, Poet Gosse, several points or bisques. I do not then claim for this author any very exalted place, but I desire to advance the claim that he has attained supremacy in one particular line: he succeeds in inspiring a mysterious terror better than any other writer. I have heard the proposition advanced that Edgar Allan Poe stands at the head of those who have written

CARMILLA Le Fanu PROLOGUE Upon a paper attached to the Narrative which follows, Doctor Hesselius has written a rather elaborate note, which he accompanies with a reference to his Essay on the strange subject which the MS illuminates. This mysterious subject he treats, in that Essay, with his usual learning and acumen, and with remarkable directness and condensation. It will form but one volume of the series of that extraordinary man's collected papers. As I publish the case, in these volumes, simply to interest the 'laity', I shall forestall the intelligent lady, who relates it, in nothing; and, after due consideration, I have determined, therefore, to abstain from presenting any precis of the learned Doctor's reasoning, or extract from his statement on a subject which he describes as 'involving, not improbably, some of the [profoundest arcana of our dual existence, and its intermediates'. I was anxious, on discovering this paper, to re-open the correspondence commenced by Doctor Hesselius, so many years before, with a person so clever and careful as his informant seems to have been. Much to my regret, however, I found that she had died in the interval.

96. “Carmilla”: Bram Stoker’s Inspiration For Dracula An article detailing a similarity in the setting, characters and plot between Bram Stokers Draculas Guest and Joseph sheridan le Fanus Carmilla. http://www.webspawner.com/users/godanov/index.html

“Carmilla”: Bram Stoker’s Inspiration for Dracula “3 May. Bistritz. Left Munich at 8:35 p.m.” Abraham Stoker in this unassuming way begins his Gothic masterpiece, Dracula (The Annotated Dracula 1). Dracula has been called ‘imaginative’ and ‘original.’ , and Harry Ludlam calls it “the product of his own vivid imagination and imaginative research” (Senf 41). However, the originality of Stoker's Dracula is in doubt. By a similarity in the setting, characters and plot, in Bram Stoker’s Gothic work Dracula and the posthumously published short story “Dracula’s Guest,” Stoker is shown to have used Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu’s classic, Gothic, short story, “Carmilla”, as the basis and inspiration for Bram Stoker’s vampiric masterpiece, Dracula. Stoker’s use of Styria as the setting for “Dracula’s Guest” and Dracula descended from Le Fanu’s “Carmilla.” An early inclination of debt shows itself in Stoker’s first inclination to use Styria, the Austrian provincial setting for “Carmilla,” as the setting for his vampire novel. Stoker’s earliest manuscript for the novel is dated 8 March, 1890, and an unnamed count is shown to have a castle in Styria (Bierman, 52); six days later, Stoker has substituted Transylvania for Styria in his working notes (Bierman, 53). By using Styria and the quickly changing it to Transylvania, Stoker himself shows that “Carmilla” was in his thoughts at the time when he first started to conceive Dracula. In both “Carmilla” and “Dracula’s Guest”, deserted villages and monsters are described in detail which shows a remarkable similarity. In both stories, ruined villages can be found from which the villagers have fled for fear of “revenants” and vampires (Le Fanu, 127). Both villages contain tombs in which rest two undead Countesses, one of which Stoker describes as “a beautiful woman with rounded cheeks and red lips” (“Dracula’s Guest 170) , and which Le Fanu termed “beautiful” and “tinged with life” (134).
