ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Sheridan le Fanu

Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu nasceu a 28 de agosto de 1814 em Dublin, na Irlanda. Le Fanu pertencia a uma antiga família Huguenot de Dublin. Educado no Trinity College, Dublin, tornou-se advogado em 1839, mas logo abandonou a lei pelo jornalismo. Começou a publicar contos na Dublin University Magazine e jornais em 1840, incluindo o Warden e o Dublin Evening Mail. Casou-se com Susanna Benett em 1844, e tiveram quatro filhos. O casamento conheceu dificuldades financeiras, e a sua esposa morreu em 1858, vítima de causas desconhecidas. Le Fanu responsabilizou-se pela morte da sua esposa e evitou a vida pública durante muito tempo após o incidente. Não publicou nada entre 1853 e 1861. Em 1861, Le Fanu assumiu o cargo de proprietário e editor da revista da Universidade de Dublin, onde publicou as suas histórias em série. Estas histórias foram posteriormente compiladas em livros. Foi um dos primeiros escritores de terror do século XIX, e foi essencial para o desenvolvimento do género na era vitoriana, tendo influenciado muitos autores posteriores, incluindo o também irlandês Bram Stoker, autor de Drácula.
