• W1497178107 abstract "By frequently rewriting his short stories and novels, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1814-73) created challenges for his bibliographers, editors, and interpreters. W. J. McCormack and Robert Tracy have traced some of features and phases of Le Fanu's reworking process, in which, for example, stories from Purcell Papers (1838-40) were revised, renamed, and reframed for Ghost Stories and Tales of Mystery (1851) and In a Glass Darkly (1872). However, tangled textual trail by Le Fanu and a few of his editors has occasionally led even astute explicators astray. (2) In their readings of two of Le Fanu's most acclaimed stories--Strange Event in Life of Schalken Painter/Schalken Painter (1839; 1851) and Carmilla (1869; 1872)--McCormack and other critics inadvertently reveal how contingencies of textual transmission and editorial interpolation can lead to incorrect interpretations. By taking a rhetorical hermeneutics approach, we can discover what happens when theoretical desire overcomes empirical discretion. (3) THE MYSTERY OF THE NARRATEE IN CARMILLA identity of narratee in Le Fanu's vampire tale Carmilla has proved to be a hermeneutic puzzle for several scholars. story, first published in Dark Blue journal between December 1871 and March 1872, reappeared as last of five stories comprising In a Glass Darkly. In Ghost Stories and Tales of Mystery, his earlier anthology of previously published short fiction, Le Fanu had created a unifying device by affixing a biblical epigraph to each story. (4) A similar unifying device for In A Glass Darkly was provided by Dr. Hesselius and anonymous editor of his papers; both characters appeared in collection's first story, Green Tea, which had been previously published in 1869 in Charles Dickens's All Year Round. Le Fanu created new prefaces, supposedly written by Hesselius's editor, for The Familiar, Mr. Justice Harbottle, The Room in Dragon Volant, and Carmilla, none of which had possessed these paratexts in their previous incarnations. (5) In new prologue to Carmilla, fictional editor states that Hesselius had commenced a correspondence [ ... ] many years before with Laura, narrator of Carmilla, who was a youthful victim of eponymous vampire and barely survived ordeal (Le Fanu, Carmilla 243). Describing Laura as the intelligent lady, who relates [ ... ] Narrative and as Hesselius's clever and careful [ ... ] editor mentions that she had died in interval between corresponding with Hesselius and theeditor's publication of her account (243). Despite editor's description of Laura in paratext as Hesselius's informant, however, Laura tells her narratee in main text that [t]he nearest inhabited village is about seven of your English miles to left and that Carmilla's habits are [p]erhaps not so singular in opinion of a town lady like as they appeared to us rustic people (Carmilla 244 and 265; emphasis mine). Since Hesselius is neither English nor female, it thus appears that he is not narratee. McCormack introduces and speculates upon this conundrum as follows: Sexuality doubles up for religion [in In A Glass Darkly]--but that's hardly rare. What is more curious is that narrator of Carmilla addresses herself to a woman (a town lady like you) while we are officially led to believe that Martin Hesselius is her correspondent. At structural or narrative level this reproduction of transferred gender ([W]hat if a boyish lover had found his way into house ... ? [Le Fanu, Carmilla 265]) echoes narrated substance of tale. But whether it echoes by way of confirmation or mockery is less clear. Boyish still implies lover's femaleness even as it insinuates word boy. (Dissolute 146)6 We should first note that although editor states Laura and Hesselius exchanged letters, he does not specifically say that Hesselius was narratee, you, of her narrative. …" @default.
