Bøger af Clemence Housman

A solitary fisher ploughed the lively blue of a southern sea. Strength of limb, fair hair, and clear grey eyes told of a northern race, though his skin had been tanned to a red-brown, dark as the tint of the slender, dark-eyed, olive-skinned fishers born under these warm skies. In stature and might a man, he was scarcely more than a boy in years; beardless yet, and of an open, boyish countenance.

The English author Clemence Housman (1861-1959) was the sister of the renowned poet A. E. Housman and the novelist Laurence Housman; but she was a distinguished writer in her own right. In 1890 she published The Were-Wolf, a vibrant exposition of the werewolf motif, in a magazine; it was published in book form in 1896. This novella captures both the terror and the sensuality of this supernatural conception, featuring a female werewolf who exercises a baleful influence on the hapless men she encounters. In 1898, Housman's full-length novel The Unknown Sea was published. This rare work involves another seductive female, the mermaid-like Diadyomene, an elusive figure whom a poor fisherman finds on a remote island near his coastal village. On the very borderline of the weird, The Unknown Sea is a rich and complex work written in an archaic and poetic idiom that enhances its elements of terror and strangeness. The short story "The Drawn Arrow" completes the corpus of Housman's weird output-an ethereal tale possibly set in an imaginary realm and perhaps influenced by the work of Lord Dunsany. Housman, an ardent feminist who was jailed for her protests against the denial of the vote to women, is a forgotten master of weird fiction whose work has waited too long to be resurrected. Now we can all appreciate the power and depth of her writings from the beginning to the end of her career.

Then was there soothing and comforting, washing and binding and a modicum of scolding, till the loud outcry sank into occasional sobs. As she tugged at the door, he sprang across grasping his flask, but Sweyn dashed between, and caught him back irresistibly, so that a most frantic effort only availed to wrench one arm free. With that, on the impulse of sheer despair, he cast at her with all his force. The door swung behind her, and the flask flew into fragments against it. Then, as Sweyn's grasp slackened, and he met the questioning astonishment of surrounding faces, with a hoarse inarticulate cry: "God help us all!" he said. "She is a Werewolf."

Clemence Housman was an author and suffragist best-known for her 1896 novella The Were-Wolf, praised by H. P.
