Description
The present volume is a book of sirens, edited and translated from the French by Brian Stableford. The notion of sirens-or, more pedantically, sirènes-was taken up with particular relish by writers who described themselves as Symbolists, having picked up the torch of French Romanticism in order to carry forward its quest to defend fertile, inventive and richly meaningful imagination against the corrosions of positivistic thought.
Featuring stories by Remy de Gourmont, Catulle Mendès, and many others, The Snuggly Sirenicon is a key collection of the microsubgenre of mermaid fiction, the inherent fascination of that motif ensuring that it is anything but tedious.
