His greatest success came in 1897 with the publication of \u003ci\u003eThe Beetle: A Mystery\u003c\/i\u003e, a novel that articulated many of the key themes of late-nineteenth century urban gothic writing and outsold its closest rival, Bram Stoker's \u003ci\u003eDracula\u003c\/i\u003e, well into the twentieth century. This book, the first specifically on Marsh's work, establishes his credentials as a literary force within the late-nineteenth century gothic revival and offers significant and nuanced readings of his literary production beyond \u003ci\u003eThe Beetle\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Wales Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47890432393367,"sku":"9781783163397","price":16709.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781783163397.webp?v=1781179988","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/richard-marsh-9781783163397","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
