COWPER, RICHARD (PSEUDONYM OF UK AUTHOR JOHN MIDDLETON MURRY JR )

Shades of Darkness

Wilts, England: Kerosina Books, 1986. Limited Edition; 1st Printing. Hardcover. ISBN: 0948893036. This edition limited to 250 signed copies, this is number 172. This book is in Near Fine condition and has a Near Fine dust jacket. The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. The text pages are clean and bright. The dust jacket is crisp and clean. "Cowper remains best known for his Corlay sequence, comprising the prefatory "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" (March 1976 F&SF) , The Road to Corlay (1978; with "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" added, as coll 1979) , A Dream of Kinship (1981) and A Tapestry of Time (1982). Here, what might be called the pathos of expectancy typical of his best work is finally resolved, for the essential parts of the sequence take place in a Ruined Earth England some 1000 years after changing sea-levels have inundated much low-lying country, Archipelago venue which hearkens – perhaps consciously – back to Richard Jefferies's After London, or Wild England (1885) , though that tale is not irradiated with islands, and which also clearly resembles the West Country featured in Christopher Priest's coeval A Dream of Wessex (1977). In this land, an oppressive theocracy is threatened by the solace offered through a young lad's redemptive visions of a new Religion, whose emblem is the White Bird of Kinship. The sequence proceeds through the establishment of a new church, its stiffening into its own repressive rituals, and its rebirth. Throughout, a sweet serenity of image and storytelling instinct – Cowper has always been a gripping teller of tales – transfigure conventional plot-patterns into testament. The Corlay books so clearly sum up Cowper's imaginative sense of a redeemed England that it is perhaps unsurprising that he wrote relatively little after them, beyond Shades of Darkness (1986) , an elegiac ghost story."
