<영어로 읽는 고전 공포소설 : 파뉘의 더블린 연대기 >
Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu의 첫 번째 소설인 The Cock and Anchor가 1845년에 처음 등장했을 때 비평가들은 월터 스콧 경에 걸맞는 작품으로 환호했고 익명의 작가가 아일랜드가 기다려온 국민 소설가일지도 모른다고 예측했다.
격동의 18세기 중반 더블린의 역사적 배경을 배경으로 한 The Cock and Anchor는 아름다운 Miss Mary Ashwoode와 결혼하는 것 외에는 아무것도 원하지 않는 영웅적인 젊은 O'Connor의 이야기다.


When Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's first novel, The Cock and Anchor, first appeared in 1845, critics hailed it as worthy of Sir Walter Scott and predicted that the anonymous author might be the national novelist Ireland has been waiting for.
Set in the historical setting of turbulent mid-18th century Dublin, The Cock and Anchor tells the story of O'Connor, a heroic young man who wants nothing more than to marry the beautiful Miss Mary Ashwoode.
