Sir Bertrand, a Fragment

AuthorsJohn Aikin, Anna Letitia Aikin
GenreShort Stories, Gothic, Horror, Fiction
Original LanguageEnglish
First published1773
NotesOriginally a literary exercise to complement the essay "On the Pleasure Derived from Objects of Terror", which is from a joint collection Miscellaneous Pieces (1773) by John Aikin and Anna Letitia Aikin. The short story is variously credited either to one of the siblings, or to both of them. Although originally published together with the essay (as "On the Pleasure Derived from Objects of Terror; with Sir Bertrand, a Fragment"), it has been more often published as a stand-alone work.
