One of the main forces in early nineteenth-century literature, Sir Walter Scott was not only among the greatest novelists of his time, but influenced generations of writers, including literary giants such as Stendhal and Tolstoy. Though chiefly remembered for his historical epics Ivanhoe, Rob Roy and Guy Mannering, Scott penned a number of short stories which have been unjustly eclipsed by the enduring fame of his longer works. This volume brings together some of Scott's best short stories, each containing an element of the supernatural – a ghostly apparition in 'The Tapestried Chamber', a tale of magic in 'My Aunt Margaret's Mirror', grotesque diablerie in 'Wandering Willie's Tale', the power of second sight in 'The Two Drovers', and the inevitability of Fate in 'The Highland Widow' – all revealing the author's great talent in the shorter-fiction form.

Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) is chiefly remembered as one of the great historical novelists, with his best-known works including Waverley (1814), Ivanhoe (1819), and Redgauntlet (1824). His experiments in short fiction, however, began before he published his first novel and throughout his career he returned to the short story form, writing tales which often contained elements of Scottish supernaturalism or the macabre.As It Was Told to Me, introduced by Daniel Cook, collects three of Scott's short stories in one volume. 'My Aunt Margaret's Mirror', mixes a tale of reckless romance with supernatural theatrics; 'The Two Drovers' offers a slow-burn exposé of national conflict; and 'Wandering Willie's Tale' weaves a yarn around the grisly death of a despotic laird and a trip to hell.

With its roots in Romanticism, antiquarianism, and the primacy of the imagination, the Gothic genre originated in the 18th century, flourished in the 19th, and continues to thrive today. This reference is designed to accommodate the critical and bibliographical needs of a broad spectrum of users, from scholars seeking critical assistance to general readers wanting an introduction to the Gothic, its abundant criticism, and the present state of Gothic Studies. The volume includes alphabetically arranged entries on more than 50 Gothic writers from Horace Walpole to Stephen King. Entries for Russian, Japanese, French, and German writers give an international scope to the book, while the focus on English and American literature shows the dynamic nature of Gothicism today. Each of the entries is devoted to a particular author or group of authors whose works exhibit Gothic elements, beginning with a primary bibliography of works by the writer, including modern editions. This section is followed by a critical essay, which examines the author's use of Gothic themes, the author's place in the Gothic tradition, and the critical reception of the author's works. The entries close with selected, annotated bibliographies of scholarly studies. The volume concludes with a timeline and a bibliography of the most important broad scholarly works on the Gothic.
