Forster and D.H. Lawrence; the result was the posthumously published \u003ci\u003eDenis Bracknel\u003c\/i\u003e (1947), and it remains one of his finest achievements. A story in the tradition of Henry James's \u003ci\u003eThe Turn of the Screw\u003c\/i\u003e and with a slow-building dread reminiscent of the works of Sheridan Le Fanu, Reid's novel opens with the arrival of young tutor Hubert Rusk, just down from Oxford, at the home of the well-to-do Bracknel family. Though the entire family is odd, none of them is stranger than Rusk's pupil, fifteen-year-old Denis, a highly imaginative, unworldly boy who is attuned to the occult and performs bizarre rituals by moonlight. As Rusk befriends Denis and gains his trust, he gradually learns the startling and horrific truth behind the boy's behaviour and will have to struggle to save him from a terrible fate... This new edition is the first-ever republication of Reid's final novel and features a new introduction by Andrew Doyle and rare and previously unpublished archival materials, including photographs and letters.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 226\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.57 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 10, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47248750149881,"sku":"9781939140975","price":34.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/VG5CSmpZMFFiZmFLY3lMRkFoL2lKZz09_8ca04cf3-5a6e-4e73-bc01-9160847d60cb.webp?v=1768640928","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/denis-bracknel-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
