His British accent and sensibilities, combined with his suave, snobbish and somewhat menacing air was utilised in American films during the next decade. He played memorable supporting roles in prestige productions such as Rebecca, in which he goaded the sinister Judith Anderson as Mrs Danvers, in her persecution against Joan Fontaine and he played leading roles in lesser pictures such as Rage in Heaven. During this time he was also the lead in both The ...

| | | | | The Picture of Dorian Gray: Encyclopedia II - Gothic novel - Origins of the gothic novel The term "gothic" was originally a disparaging term applied to a style of medieval architecture (Gothic architecture) and art (Gothic art). The opprobrious term "gothick" was embraced by the 18th century proponents of the gothic revival, a forerunner of the Romantic genres. Gothic revival architecture, which became popular in the nineteenth century, was a reaction to the classical architecture that was a hallmark of the Age of Reason.
In a way similar to the gothic revivalists' rejection of the clarity and rationalism of the neoclassi ...

Symbolism arts - The Symbolist Manifesto.
Symbolists believed that art should aim to capture more absolute truths which could only be accessed by indirect methods. Thus, they wrote in a highly metaphorical and suggestive manner, endowing particular images or objects with symbolic meaning. The Symbolist manifesto (‘Le Symbolisme’, Le Figaro, 18 Sept 1886) was published in 1886 by Jean Moréas. Moréas announced that Symbolism was hostile to "plain meanings, declamations, false sentimentality and matter-of-fact ...

| | | | | The Picture of Dorian Gray: Encyclopedia II - Narcissism - Schools of Thought
Narcissism - Freud versus Jung.
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) is credited for the first coherent theory of narcissism. He described transitions from subject-directed libido to object-directed libido through the intermediation and agency of the parents. To be healthy and functional, the transitions must be smooth and unperturbed; otherwise neuroses result. Thus, if a child fails to attract their love and attention of his or her desired objects (e.g., of his parents ...

Anthony Burgess - Work methods.
"I start at the beginning, go to the end, then stop," Burgess once said. He revealed in Martin Seymour-Smith's Novels and Novelists: A Guide to the World of Fiction (1980) that he would often prepare a synopsis with a name-list before beginning a project. But Seymour-Smith wrote: "Burgess believes overplanning is fatal to creativity and regards his unconscious mind and the act of writing itself as indispensable guides. He does not produce a draft of a whole novel which ...

| | | | | The Picture of Dorian Gray: Encyclopedia II - The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - In the arts There have been dozens of major stage and film adaptions, and countless references in popular culture, the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" has become shorthand to mean wild controversial and polar behaviour. Most adaptions of the work omit the reader-identification figure of Utterson, instead telling the story from Jekyll and Hyde's viewpoint, thus eliminating the mystery aspect of the tale about who Hyde is; indeed there have been no major adaptions to date that stay close to Stevenson's original work, almost all introducing some form of romantic element.

He is often credited as being an originator the genre of detective fiction with his three stories about Auguste Dupin, the most famous of which is "The Murders in the Rue Morgue." (Poe also wrote a satirical detective sto ...

| | | | | The Picture of Dorian Gray: Encyclopedia II - Fahrenheit 451 - Plot The story takes place sometime in the not-too-distant future, in an America whose society's goal in life is hedonistic pleasure and abandonment of self-control. By this point in time, books have been made obsolete due to the increasingly frenetic pace of life and the ever-shortening attention span of the common man — nobody has "time" to read anymore. In the government's, and consequently the society's opinion, books contain problems and conflicting theories, books are seen as a source of unhappiness, causing people to be anxious, sad or a ...

| | | | | The Picture of Dorian Gray: Encyclopedia II - Gothic novel - Post-Victorian legacy By the 1880s, it was time for a revival of the gothic novel as a semi-respectable literary form. This was the period of the gothic works of Robert Louis Stevenson, Arthur Machen, and Oscar Wilde, and the most famous gothic villain ever appeared in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897). Other notable writers included Algernon Blackwood, William Hope Hodgson, and H.P.Lovecraft. Lovecraft's protégé, Robert Bloch, penned the gothic horror classic, Psycho, which drew on the classic interests of the genre. From these, the gothic genre pe ...

| | | | | | The Picture of Dorian Gray: Encyclopedia II - Gothic novel - Later developments In Britain, the gothic novel as a genre largely played itself out by 1840. This was helped by the over-saturation of the genre by cheap "pulp" works—which would later morph into cheap horror fiction in the form of "penny dreadfuls"—as well as a decline in the genre's respectability since the turn of the century, caused by the publication of works such as Matthew Gregory Lewis' The Monk (1796), a shocking (particularly at the time) tale of sex, violence and d ...
