Résumé : "The Death-Wake; or, Lunacy: A Necromaunt in Three Chimeras" is a narrative poem written by Scottish author and journalist Thomas Tod Stoddart. Published in 1862, this poem is a dark and imaginative work that explores themes of death, the supernatural, and the human psyche. The title itself suggests a fascination with death and the afterlife, using poetic and archaic language to create an eerie and atmospheric tone. Stoddart, known for his contributions to various literary genres, crafted this work during the Victorian era when Gothic and macabre themes were prevalent in literature. The poem is structured in three parts, referred to as "Chimeras," which may indicate a series of fantastical and dreamlike episodes or visions. Stoddart's language is likely to be rich and descriptive, contributing to the eerie and mystical ambiance of the narrative. "The Death-Wake" is not as widely known as some other works from the Victorian era, but it remains an interesting example of the period's fascination with the supernatural and its exploration of the mysterious realms of life and death. If you have access to the full text, you can delve into Stoddart's poetic language and thematic exploration to fully appreciate the nuances of "The Death-Wake."
