To that end, I would like to draw your attention to some of the outstanding accomplishments and developments that have taken place for our authors over the last few months: Clifford Jackman’s debut, The Winter Family, has been longlisted for the 2015 Scotiabank Giller Prize. Published by Doubleday in the US, Heyne in Germany and a “New Face of Fiction” for Random House Canada, The Winter Family was called “sadistic but mesmerizing” by The New York Times Book Review, a “chilling tale” by Publishers’ Weekly, and “a philosophical spaghetti western that doesn’t stint on the tomato sauce, served up with flair” by Quill & Quire. Reviewers have repeatedly put Jackman in the company of Cormac McCarthy and James Carlos Blake, and Amazon chose The Winter Family as a Best Mystery/Thriller/Suspense for the Month of April 2015. Chris Gerolmo, seven- time Academy Award nominated screenwriter of ‘Mississippi Burning’ is writing the film adaptation of The Winter Family. Giller Prize-winner Elizabeth Hay is back and at the top of her game with an irresistible new novel, His Whole Life.

  • A Review of Ann Radcliffe, Romanticism and the Gothic (Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2014)
    Text Matters, Volume 6, Number 6, 2016 DOI: 10.1515/texmat-2016-0018 Tomasz Fisiak University of Łódź Timeless Radcliffe: A Review of Ann Radcliffe, Romanticism and the Gothic (Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2014) The year 2014 was notable from the perspective of both Gothic scholars and casual readers of Gothic fiction. First of all, it marked the 250th anniversary of the publication of Horace Walpole’s The Castle of Otranto, “the first of- ficial Gothic romance and progenitor of an enduring genre” (Snodgrass 69). Moreover, it also marked the 250th birthday of Ann Radcliffe (1764–1823), the leading figure of Gothic fiction in the 1790s, whose novels, such as the bestselling The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794) or The Italian, or the Confes- sional of the Black Penitents (1796–97), reformulated the Walpolean model of a Gothic story. No matter that they were simultaneously criticized and revered, their influence on the development of Romantic fiction was unde- niable. Even though Radcliffe’s oeuvre has already undergone a meticulous analysis, not only in Great Britain and the United States (one could list the following works: Joyce M. S. Tompkins’s Ann Radcliffe and Her Influence on Later Writers, 1980; Robert Miles’s Ann Radcliffe: The Great Enchantress, 1995; Rictor Norton’s Mistress of Udolpho: the Life of Ann Radcliffe, 1999), but also in Poland (Marek Błaszak’s Ann Radcliffe’s Gothic Romances and the Romantic Revival, 1991; Witold Ostrowski’s “The Mysteries of Udolpho and Much More,” 1997), an anniversary like this prompted a special com- memoration. In June 2014, the University of Sheffield organized an inter- national conference devoted to “the Great Enchantress,” which was fol- lowed by a publication of a special volume, assessing Radcliffe’s body of work and her importance for Gothicism.
