Meggan Kehrli (illustrator). Dublin: Swan River Press:, 2012. First printing, Hardcover, SIGNED (editor), Limited, New in dust jacket, 187 pp. Cover artwork by: Meggan Kehrli This edition is limited to 200 copies. Signed by editor Albert Power on the title page. "Longsword, Earl of Salisbury, by eighteenth century Dublin-born clergyman Thomas Leland, is a fast-paced historical romance of medieval menace and high excitement. Set in the early years of the thirteenth century, it features a blend of real and created characters in a mêlée of intrigue, corruption, lust, and revenge. In part a metaphor for the tug-of-war between the sexes, Longsword is the definitive precursor to the Gothic novel; both in trappings and in style, it provides vital elements of prototype for Walpole's The Castle of Otranto and Lewis's The Monk. Through Longsword, Leland emerges as a forerunner of fellow Dublin clergyman Charles Robert Maturin, author of Melmoth the Wanderer. This 250th anniversary edition is edited and introduced by Albert Power. First printing, Hardcover, SIGNED (editor), Limited, New in dust jacket, Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 48699
