The Isle of Devils: A Historical Tale, Founded on an Anecdote in the Annals of Portugal (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Isle of Devils: A Historical Tale, Founded on an Anecdote in the Annals of Portugal His poem was written by Monk Lewis, in 1816, on his last voyage to Jamaica. A few copies were printed from the original manuscript at the Advertiser office, Kingston, Jamaica, in 1827, for the sole use of certain friends and admirers. It is from one of these, recently acquired, that the following careful reprint has been made. The work is a great literary curiosity, as well as a striking example of Lewis's wonderful power of imagination in blending the horrible and the beautiful; mingling the most gorgeous and volup tuons descriptions, with scenes and characters loathsome and diabolic. Students and collectors of rare and out of-the - way items in the bye - paths of literature will welcome this opportunity of becoming acquainted with one of the most powerful and yet (until now) practically unknown works of the Great Master whose place in Literature is with Poe, Baudelaire, and Mrs. Shelley.
