Title: The Witch of Prague Title Record # 40098
Author: F. Marion Crawford
Date: 1891-00-00
Type: NOVEL
Language: English
Note: Newspaper advertisements imply August UK and September US book publication, really. Known serial publications: • Monthly in The English Illustrated Magazine with illustrations by W. J. Hennessey, October 1890 to September 1891. • Saturdays in The Globe (Toronto), 1891-01-17 to -06-13. • Sundays in St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 1891-01-18 to -05-24. First and last instalments have been confirmed. They span 12 months, 22 Saturdays, 19 Sundays. Toronto and SLPD serials contain the same small illustrations, uncredited, not those by Hennessey. One January promotion calls the latter a "syndicate serial in various American newspapers". "Hypnotism may be congratulated on having received the attention of Mr. Marion Crawford. But in proportion as hypnotism may rejoice the art of fiction must grieve. There are two ways of dealing with matters of this kind in fiction; one is right and the other is wrong; one was adopted [by Crawford] in Mr. Isaacs, the other in The Witch of Prague." A note by Crawford reveals "the fault in the author's latest manner"; namely, '... all the most important situations have been taken from cases which have come under medical observation within the last few years.' --mixed review in "Novels of the Week", The Athenaeum 1891-08-22 p2
Synopsis: "The Witch of Prague (1891), with Byronic overtones, uses the motif of the Femme Fatale to explore powers of the mind." (underscore represents linked cross-reference) --Encyclopedia of Fantasy, Crawford biographical entry by Mike Ashley
