		Le Fanu studied law at Trinity College in Dublin, where he was elected Auditor of the College Historical Society, and passed the bar 1839.

	The Evolution of Irish Folklore in Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's Tales of Terror - Associated Content
		Throughout the evolution of Le Fanu's manipulation of Irish folklore, the idea of the main protagonists relation to the harbinger of death continues to change, ranging from the traditional to the newly invented, all once again in relation of the emphasis of the Irish setting.
		Le Fanu's use of Irish folklore in ‘The White Cat of Drumgunniol' proves to diffuse the sense of terror in the tale, rendering the short story completely ineffective as a tale of terror.
		This is an example of Le Fanu's ability to look two ways at once, for although he proves to be a Victorian in his dates, he can at the same time be very unlike the era of his writing.

	Sheridan Le Fanu: Uncle Silas
		Uncle Silas was Le Fanu's first success in England, and was based on an earlier short story published in an Irish journal edited by the author.
		It has funny moments too; Le Fanu may be taking the unlikely clichés of the Gothic novel seriously, but that does not mean he is lacking in a sense of humour.
		Of the writers contemporary with Le Fanu, the closest to him in style was problably Wilkie Collins, and their brand of fairly genteel chills fairly soon lost out to the more flamboyant influence of writers like Poe.

	The Weird Review: Le Fanu's "Spalatro"
		Le Fanu describes the murder of one of the guests with relish.
		Although individual scenes are excellent, the creation of brooding intensity & slowly mounting doom are absent, as if Le Fanu were content to allow the remoteness of the setting to do that work for him.
		Miles Stribling's Introduction is informative, especially as it relates to the publication of Le Fanu's works in periodicals, but leans very heavily on W. McCormack's Sheridan Le Fanu & Victorian Ireland, convincing me of the need to finally acquire & read a copy of that book myself.

		Le Fanu's readers are left with these awful questions but with no certain truths.
		In the fictional world of Le Fanu, whatever a man's visage or name, his past cannot be eluded or denied; it is encoded within him.
		Le Fanu's mysteries are also Victorian fantasies, fulfilling Todorov's definition of the fantastic as "that hesitation experienced by a person who knows only the laws of nature confronting an apparently supernatural event."

	Sheridan le Fanu:in A Glass Darkly
		The original quote, like most things written in scripture, is a somewhat ambiguous statement; in the generally accepted meaning, however it is taken as a reference to looking through a window pane, in a somewhat cloudy manner seeing only glimpses of that which is spiritual or indeed heavenly as analogy to life on earth.
		As Robert Tracy notes in his excellent introduction to the Oxford world’s classics edition of ‘In a Glass Darkly’, Le Fenu was the son of a clergyman and raised in a very religious household and therefore would not have occasion to ‘misquote scripture lightly’.
		The ‘glass’ of Le Fanu’s is believed a mirror in which ‘darkly’ viewed we see a darker nature to our own selves.

		A collection of five stories, linked as the posthoumous papers of a seriously flawed proto-psychologist, the first three are the best, brief, compressed masterpieces of atmosphere and genuine terror: le Fanu may not be a great writer, but some of his visual coups are incomparable, the nightmare visions of 'Lord Justice Harbottle' being particularly vivid.
		The introduction by Robert Tracy provdes some good insights into le Fanu's work as expression of national and colonial fears, but, perversely, he seems less interested in the tales' powerful sexual and gender drives.
		In A Glass Darkly is comprised of 5 lengthy short stories that are loosely woven together by the figure of Dr. Martin Hesselius, a "psychic doctor." Three of the five stories, "Green Tea," "Justice Harbottle," and "Carmilla," are classics of the Victorian ghost story genre, and are frequently anthologized.

		In 1844 marries Susan Bennett who will die 14 years after driving Le Fanu to lose every interest in social life until being defined "The Invisible Prince".
		For being better able to characterise this personage, Le Fanu did a scrupulous examination of sources analysing the Central European traditions that gave depth to the personage of the dead-live blood drinker and that will inspire the writers to come.
		This story is inserted in the collection In a Glass Darkly, in which there are other four stories that have as underlying theme the investigations of an esoterist-doctor, Doctor Hesselius, who tackles the cases examining them with analytical spirit and splitting the supernatural by the ordinaries implications.
