Marshall suggests Runhill Court, whose owner, Henry Judge, may be interested in selling after the death of his young wife. But the house comes with a mystery attached: a staircase is said to appear to certain people at certain times, but they can never remember what happens when they ascend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eOn her first visit to the house, Isbel sees the stairs. Ascending them, she finds three plain doors. Through the first, she sees herself in a mirror, with all the potentialities of her deepest nature written plainly upon her face — all that her coming marriage to the shallow Marshall will leave unfulfilled. Descending the stairs, she forgets it all, but is left with a troubling need to understand what happened to her, and to fulfil her truer, “tragic” nature. Lindsay’s second novel questions the possibility of the deepest fulfilment in a world whose very nature seems to work against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eThis edition of David Lindsay’s \u003cem\u003eThe Haunted Woman\u003c\/em\u003e is extensively annotated, placing the novel in its historical, cultural, and biographical context, and firmly within the larger body of Lindsay’s work as a writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"color: #8B0000; font-size: 1.25em; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eIntended Audience\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eThis extensively annotated edition is ideal for readers of classic supernatural and occult fiction, historical fantasy enthusiasts, and literary scholars seeking a deeper understanding of David Lindsay's thematic legacy and biographical context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"color: #8B0000; font-size: 1.25em; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eAuthor Biographies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Lindsay\u003c\/strong\u003e was a visionary author best known for his philosophical and fantastical narratives, most notably his groundbreaking first novel, \u003cem\u003eA Voyage to Arcturus\u003c\/em\u003e, which cemented his reputation as a pioneer of speculative fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMurray Ewing\u003c\/strong\u003e provides expert annotations, critical introductions, and detailed appendices that ground Lindsay's esoteric themes within their proper historical and literary framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"color: #8B0000; font-size: 1.25em; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eAccolades \u0026amp; Recognition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul style=\"margin-bottom: 25px; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"\u003eFeatures an illuminating introduction focusing on the novel’s historical period and its thematic relevance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"\u003eIncludes an exclusive afterword exploring the novel's relationship with Lindsay’s renowned first work, \u003cem\u003eA Voyage to Arcturus\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"\u003eContains a curated selection of maps and illustrations related to the novel’s settings and publication history.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n  {\n    \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n    \"@type\": \"Book\",\n    \"name\": \"The Haunted Woman\",\n    \"author\": {\n      \"@type\": \"Person\",\n      \"name\": \"David Lindsay\"\n    },\n    \"contributor\": {\n      \"@type\": \"Person\",\n      \"name\": \"Murray Ewing\",\n      \"roleName\": \"Annotator\"\n    },\n    \"isbn\": \"9781915388018\",\n    \"numberOfPages\": \"304\",\n    \"bookEdition\": \"Annotated Edition\",\n    \"publisher\": {\n      \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n      \"name\": \"Bookship\"\n    },\n    \"datePublished\": \"2022-07-28\",\n    \"bookFormat\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/Paperback\",\n    \"inLanguage\": \"English\",\n    \"description\": \"Discover David Lindsay's The Haunted Woman in this annotated edition.
