Résumé

In "A True Relation of the Apparition of one Mrs. Veal, " Daniel Defoe masterfully intertwines supernatural phenomena with the emerging rationalism of early 18th-century England. This short narrative, presented as a veritable account, blurs the lines between fact and fiction while exploring themes of belief, skepticism, and the nature of reality in the face of the inexplicable. Defoe employs a straightforward yet compelling prose style, echoing the conventions of the period's emerging genre of ghost stories and moral tales, thus securing his place within the wider literary context of early modern literature.
Daniel Defoe, a polymath known for his pioneering works such as "Robinson Crusoe, " was deeply influenced by the sociocultural currents of his time, including the rise of empiricism. His engagement with political and religious controversies, coupled with a fascination for the sensational, guided him in crafting narratives that challenge the readers' perceptions of truth and fiction. Defoe's keen interest in the human psyche and societal beliefs is vividly reflected in this tale of apparitional encounter.
This intriguing work is recommended for readers who are curious about the interplay between credulity and skepticism in literature. Defoe's meticulous attention to detail and immersive storytelling invites readers to question the nature of reality, making it a crucial read for both enthusiasts of ghost stories and scholars of early modern literature. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - A succinct Introduction situates the work's timeless appeal and themes. - The Synopsis outlines the central plot, highlighting key developments without spoiling critical twists. - A detailed Historical Context immerses you in the era's events and influences that shaped the writing. - An Author Biography reveals milestones in the author's life, illuminating the personal insights behind the text. - A thorough Analysis dissects symbols, motifs, and character arcs to unearth underlying meanings. - Reflection questions prompt you to engage personally with the work's messages, connecting them to modern life. - Hand-picked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance. - Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.
