Joseph Sheridan LeFanu, In A Glass Darkly. Part I

Joseph Sheridan LeFanu (1814-73) was one of the principal writers of sensation and supernatural stories in the third decade of the nineteenth century. He is best remembered for a collection of short stories called In A Glass Darkly (1872). It was a highly influential work even to the extent that Bram Stoker's 1897 seminal vampire novel, Dracula, has character called a Van Helsing while the stories and novellas in In A Glass Darkly are held together by a character with a similar name, Hesselius. On this occasion we will be reading the first three stories in the collection. 'Green Tea', 'The Familiar', and 'Mr Justice Harbottle.'
