"In searching the history of our own country, when it stood together as a united nation, waging just war, we find England, our mother country, whose language we speak, arrayed against us. But, on account of this bond of birth and language, should we cease to tell about the deeds of those men who freed us from her grasp and oppressions, and made us what we are? I trust not. May our navy glory in its record, no matter the consequences! May our youth grow up with the lives of these men—our Yankee commanders—before them, and may they profit by their examples! This should not inculcate a hatred for a former foe. It should only serve to build up that national esprit de corps without which no country ever stood up for its rights and willed to fight for them. May the sons of our new citizens, whose fathers have served kings, perhaps, and come from other countries, grow up with a pride in America's own national history!

In 'Shelleys' Gothic Classics: Frankenstein & St. Irvyne,' the coupling of Mary Shelley's iconic 'Frankenstein' with Percy Bysshe Shelley's lesser-known 'St. Irvyne' illuminates the rich tapestry of early 19th-century Gothic literature. This collection not only explores themes of human overreach and the supernatural but also showcases the stylistic diversity within the Gothic genre itself. The anthology is a profound exploration of existential angst and the darker recesses of the human psyche, providing a panoramic view of the genre's evolution and its reflection on human vulnerability and fear. The Shelleys, integral figures in the Romantic movement, bring together a confluence of revolutionary ideas and sublime artistry, situated against a backdrop of political and social upheaval. Mary Shelley's narrative inventiveness and Percy Bysshe Shelley's lyrical prowess make this collection a cornerstone for understanding the Romantic engagement with horror, awe, and the sublime. Their works are emblematic of a period that challenged Enlightenment rationalism with a deep dive into the emotional and often irrational human experience. 'Shelleys' Gothic Classics' offers readers a rare glimpse into the melding of two literary minds intertwined by personal and intellectual bonds. It is an essential volume for scholars and enthusiasts of the Gothic and Romantic traditions, promising not only a reflection on bygone eras but also a resonant dialogue with contemporary themes. The collection is a scholarly and emotional journey, ideal for those seeking to comprehend the breadth of Gothic literature and its enduring appeal.
