«The Gormenghast Trilogy», Mervyn Peake
Mervyn Peake's The Gormenghast Trilogy (Titus Groan, Gormenghast, and Titus Alone), published between 1946-1959, was originally conceived as a four or five book series, but the author died after the publication of only the first two books, the third having been reconstructed after his death from his notebooks. In this work, Peake created a locale and story almost hallucinogenic in atmosphere, internally consistent but sufficiently phantasmagoric as to seem dreamlike, fantastic, twisted and bizarre. Titus is the seventy-seventh Earl of Gormenghast, a realm located who knows where, in a time who knows when. Most obviously, Gormenshast is a huge and deteriorating castle, miles in extent, much of it uninhabited for hundreds of years and even unknown to and unexplored by its current inhabitants. The pervasive mood is one of dissolution, decay, deterioration, mindless remaining ritual and tradition without residual meaning; Gormenghast as a physical structure is falling apart, most of its primary inhabitants are in varying states of decline, and perpetuation of what has always been seems its only motivation. Peake uses language and images to create an archaic sense of gloom and unease, and his characterizations are unique and striking. "No eye may see dispassionately...(W)hat haunts the heart will, when it is found, leap foremost, blinding the eye and leaving the main of Life in darkness." "Their faces ...were quite expressionless, as though they were the preliminary lay-outs for faces and were waiting for sentience to be injected." "Seven clouds like a group of naked cherubs or sucking-pigs, floated their plump pink bodies across a sky of slate." "She appeared rather to inhabit, than to wear her clothes." He uses leitmotivs, almost as in a Wagner opera, to evoke personages again and again: "high, narrow shoulders and pale full forehead" always evoking Steerpike; identical purple dresses and reedy voices, the ancient twins; goggling eyes behind thick glasses, the doctor; spindly knees cracking like broken sticks, Flay. His vocabulary, with words like "hierophantic," "marcid," "adumbrate," "planked" (as a verb), further fostered for me a sense of the outré, the strange.
