Synopsis
For more than two decades, Clive Barker has twisted the worlds of horrific and surrealistic fiction into a terrifying, transcendent genre all his own. With skillful prose, he enthralls even as he horrifies; with uncanny insight, he disturbs as profoundly as he reveals. Evoking revulsion and admiration, anticipation and dread, Barker's works explore the darkest contradictions of the human condition: our fear of life and our dreams of death., This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1824 edition. Excerpt: ...Why, he would ask, were there not instances of youths being removed from the college? Why were there individuals declared unworthy of being allowed to remain--for it was impossible that there could be no instance where such a course ought to be taken? Why, but because those who had the power of appointing to offices stuck with such pertinacity to their own selection, so resolved were they to carry their own choice into effect, that they opened a constant obstacle to that regular course of discretion exercised by the professors, which would in some instances at least lead to the exclusion of young men after they had gone through their probation. The professors acted under the intimidating sense of having tlieir discretion examined before a public scrutiny, and that their acts would form the grounds of motions in that court. The result was, that they were slow to exercise the power of exclusion: and this led naturally to the consequence, that many worthless and incapable persons were sent out as writers, who did no good, and were merely a dead weight on the Company. When a rebellion, as it was called, broke out in the College of Hertford, why was there so much greater a sensation caused by it than was produced by a similar event in any other seminary? It was not long since a serious disturbance took place at Winchester College--the students actually took the college by storm, and nailed up the provost in his own house; and it was not until military aid was called in that the rioters were quelled. The consequence was, that the principal promoters of the disturbance were in a body expelled; and yet no great sensation was produced in the public mind. It was not many months since a scene of disturbance took place in Christ's College, Oxford, ..
