$a Frist published as Uncle Silas: a tale of Bartram-Haugh (London: Richard Bentley, 1964) Like many of Le Fanu's novels, Uncle Silas grew out of an earlier short story, in this case A Passage in the Secret History of an Irish Countess (1839), which he also published as The Murdered Cousin in the collection Ghost Stories and Tales of Mystery (1851). While this earlier story was set in Ireland, the novel's action takes place in Derbyshire. It was first serialized in the Dublin University Magazine in 1864, under the title Maud Ruthyn and Uncle Silas, and then appeared in December of the same year as a three-volume novel from the London publisher Richard Bentley. Several changes were made from the serialization to the volume edition, such as resolving the inconsistencies of names. |
