		Le Daim had considerable talent for intrigue, and, according to his enemies, could always be depended upon to execute the baser designs of the king.
		Le Daims property was given to the duke of Orleans.
		He was elected deputy for Le Mans in 1841 with hardly a dissentient voice; but for the violence of his electoral speeches he was tried at Angers and sentenced to four months imprisonment and a fine, against which he appealed successfully on a technical point.

	Review of James Le Fanu's "The Rise and Fall of Modern Medicine"
		Le Fanu is deeply puzzled by the fact that biological organisms produce secondary metabolites of complex molecular structure, and that some of these prove useful in fighting human diseases.
		Le Fanu is probably correct when he says that the initial promise of the New Genetics has not yet been realized, and he is probably correct when he says that the benefits of a low-fat diet have been greatly exaggerated.
		Le Fanu says, "The environmentalist theory is invalidated by the biological necessity that the human organism be resilient and not readily injured by minuscule levels of pollutants in air and water." This argument may be true when applied to naturally-occurring toxins, such as tannins.

	The Curmudgeon: J Sheridan Le Fanu
		Le Fanu died in 1873, and "Schalken the Painter" is not a late story; what the mid-Victorians must have thought of it, I cannot imagine.
		During his lifetime Le Fanu was famous less for his ghost stories than for his popular novels of mystery and suspense, some of which, as I have said, are periodically resurrected.
		Le Fanu was born in 1814 and lived in Dublin.

		Le Fanu is not blinded by science nor is he scornful of it.
		Le Fanu shows that doctors' seclusion of tuberculosis patients in sanatoria dramatically reduced the infection's incidence, proving that the influential historian of medicine, Thomas McKeown, was wrong to deny doctors the credit for its decline.

		But Le Fanu, whose understanding was elevated by a deep love of the classics, in which he took university honours, and further heightened by an admirable knowledge of our own great authors, was not to be tempted away by oratory from literature, his first and, as it proved, his last love.
		Le Fanu, while less careful to arrange his plots, so as to admit of their being readily adapted for the stage, often surprises us by scenes of so much greater tragic intensity that we cannot but lament that he did not, as Mr.

		Le Fanu's son, Brinsley, told later, that his father wrote mostly in bed, using copybooks for his manuscripts.
		As a journalist Le Fanu opposed all attempts to loosen the political union between Ireland and the rest of the UK, but in his 14 novels he avoided the politics of his day.

	spiked-health \| Article \| Society's unhealthy obsession with abuse
		According to Dr James Le Fanu, 'the medical advocacy of contentious theories of the mechanisms of child abuse is likely to have been responsible for a systematic miscarriage of justice on a scale without precedent in British legal history - with devastating consequences for the parents wrongly convicted'.
		However, Dr Le Fanu is right to insist that parents should not be convicted only on the basis of contentious medical diagnoses, where the causal mechanism between putative assault and subsequent injury remains obscure, in the absence of wider circumstantial evidence.
		In fact, the most recent reference provided by Dr Le Fanu for this abuser profile does not support his interpretation: parents who kill their children are often suffering from mental illness (depression or psychosis) and, though some abuse drugs or alcohol, they often do not have a previous record of child abuse (7).

		Michael Pollock held a steady ship in particularly turbulent political waters during his appointment as First Sea Lord, in 1971-74.
		He had, however, a profound understanding and experience of the Navy under fire as he was seldom out of action in the Second World War, where his courage and leadership resulted in a DSC and three mentions in dispatches.
		When Sir Michael Le Fanu, the newly appointed Chief of Defence Staff, retired suddenly because of ill-health, in 1971, the then First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Peter Hill-Norton, was promoted to replace him and Pollock stepped into Hill-Norton's shoes as First Sea Lord.

		Dr. Le Fanu did not get his data directly from the WHO report.

		Though this early vampire story was later very influential on Bram Stoker's "Dracula", Le Fanu's reputation as an author didn't achieve anything like ascendency until the Edwardian writer of supernatural fiction, MR James, highlighted him as an influence on his own work.
		Le Fanu's tale repeats this plot form several times in little more than sixty pages and "The Vampire Lovers" follows suit.
		Pitt also reads excerpts from Le Fanu's "Carmilla" in an audio recording accompanied by publicity stills and posters, and there is also an overwrought US trailer for the film.

	MYSTERY!: The Wyvern Mystery
		Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (pronounced Léff-anew) was so popular in the late 1800s that Henry James used him to furnish a short story, describing a room with "the customary novel of Mr.
		Le Fanu for the bedside; the ideal reading in a country house for the hours after midnight."
		Like the decaying mansions in his books, Le Fanu's fame fell into decline, leaving it to a new generation of readers to rediscover this master of the scary story.

	Ellen Moody's 'Net Writings and Teaching
		Le Fanu was a scholar, an omnivorous reader, and saturated himself in reading from religious, occult, magical, hallucinatory literature of the day.
		Le Fanu was Anglo-Irish, like fellow vampire author Bram Stoker, and, as Ellen mentioned earlier, his views on Irish politics were in general similar to those of Trollope.
		Le Fanu's plots are creaky: they are contrivances; they important thing is the atmosphere and then the presence of the ghost interacting with a small group of haunted characters who are observed by a narrator who is enigmatically involved.

	Admiral of the Fleet Sir Michael Pollock - Telegraph
		Admiral of the Fleet Sir Michael Pollock, who died on Wednesday aged 89, rose to unexpected eminence at the end of his career when he was made First Sea Lord on the sudden appointment of Sir Peter Hill-Norton as Chief of the Defence Staff in 1971.
		Many in the Navy were still smarting from the decision to cancel the aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth, but Pollock's tenure was marked by one great achievement: the laying down of the first of the Invincible class of carriers, which would later play a prominent role in the Falklands War.
		The son of a civil engineer who lost a leg on the Western Front, Michael Patrick Pollock was born on October 19 1916 and went to the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, at 13.

	VICTOR SAGE
		It is refreshing to read a book by a scholar willing to read the text carefully enough to let it speak for itself, especially when that scholar understands the milieu in which the author wrote as well as the diverse dramatic and narrative modes upon which that author drew while shaping his own fictional world.
		Le Fanu’s world, Sage demonstrates, is one in which candlelight calls attention to and even shapes the darkness it seeks to illuminate.
		Hence, the author’s deviations from one set of genre expectations into another are not lapses, but intentional shifts meant to reshape the reader’s perception of the plot, the characters, and the very landscape they populate.

		Le Fanu is a Victorian writer who, along with Edgar A. Poe before him, invented the unity of mood and economy of means that characterizes the modern horror short story.
		Until the Dover edition of Sheridan Le Fanu's stories appeared in 1964, this nineteenth-century Irish author's tales were almost impossible to find.
		This is a shame, since M.R. James considered Le Fanu the best of all ghost story writers (I would put M.R. James at the top of my list, and J. Le Fanu, second).

		Carmilla, written by Le Fanu in 1853, is the basis for the films, Blood And Roses (1960), The Vampire Lovers (1970), Lust For A Vampire (1971), Twins Of Evil (1973), The Blood Spattered Bride (1972), The Velvet Vampire (1969) and Carmilla (1989) among others.
		This is a rather faithful rendition of Le Fanu’s Carmilla in which the Teutonic Temptress, Ingrid Pitt, plays the triple role of Carmilla, Mircalla and Marcilla Karnstein while Madeline Smith plays Emma the central character of the film.
		Tongue in cheek nods to Le Fanu are included and a very unconventional way of dispatching the vampire at the end make this a product of the times.
