The Episodes of Vathek (var. 1) by William Beckford (Dedalus, February 24, 1995, 1-873982-61-5, £6.99, 207pp, tp, co, cover by Lise Weisgerber)
Fantasy collection: portions of the classic Vathek which were suppressed before that book’s publication in 1787 (because of their contentious themes of homosexuality and sado-masochism) and not published until 1912. An extremely rare collection, this is only the third British edition, and the first in over fifty years. Using the 1912 translation by Sir Frank T. Marzials (with minor corrections and alterations), but omitted the original French texts that were in the 1912 (Stephen Swift) edition, this edition is edited with an introduction by Malcolm Jack. It is internally dated 1994.
