{"product_id":"9781783163397","title":"Richard Marsh","description":"\u003cbr\u003eRichard Bernard Heldmann (1857–1915), who wrote under the pen name Richard Marsh, was a bestselling, versatile, and prolific author of gothic, crime, adventure, romance, and comic fiction. His greatest success came in 1897 with the publication of \u003ci\u003eThe Beetle: A Mystery\u003c\/i\u003e, a novel that articulated many of the key themes of late–nineteenth century urban gothic writing and outsold its closest rival, Bram Stoker’s \u003ci\u003eDracula\u003c\/i\u003e, well into the twentieth century. This book, the first specifically on Marsh’s work, establishes his credentials as a literary force within the late–nineteenth century gothic revival and offers significant and nuanced readings of his literary production beyond \u003ci\u003eThe Beetle\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"University of Wales Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032426135792,"sku":"9781783163397","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783163397_p0.jpg?v=1763724966","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783163397","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
