A Critical Edition of Thomas Tod Stoddart's ‘The Death-Wake’ or 'Lunacy'

A Critical Edition of Thomas Tod Stoddart's ‘The Death-Wake’ or 'Lunacy'Thomas Tod Stoddarts innovative gothic epic poem The Death Wake (1831), now little known, may have been lost to history if not for the interventions of Edgar Allan Poe in 1842 and Andrew Lang in 1895. This critical edition reprints and contextualises Stoddarts morbid and distinctive masterpiece, bringing to light an important but overlooked expression of the Scottish Gothic with transatlantic cultural implications.
