"Bring Me a Light" A Ghost Story

Jane Margaret Hooper

4.9/5 (20326 ratings)

Description:Once a Week (1859-1880), the periodical in which this story first appeared in January 1861, originated from a dispute over celebrity publicity. Publishers Bradbury and Evans refused to print Charles Dickens’s defense of his marital separation, and their successful joint endeavor Household Words was the casualty. Bradbury and Evans found a new editor and started Once a Week, which became an outlet for Punch writers and illustrators. This story appeared during the magazine’s most successful period. This story plays on the realistic nineteenth-century fear of death by fire. Between 1848 and 1861, nearly 40,000 people in England were burned alive or scalded to death; after the breeching age of five, girls were 60% more susceptible to this end than boys due to their flammable clothing; the danger was also higher for older women. Authorities recommended that Victorians starch cotton, linen, and muslin dresses with fire-resistant chemicals to avoid this danger.[(Synopsis pulled from "The Valancourt Book of Victorian Christmas Ghost Stories" edited by Tara Moore)]We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
