Overview

“Of some sf interest is [Ransome’s] one adult novel, The Elixir of Life (1915), a Gothic tale set in 1716 England whose protagonist is a reclusive and feared philosopher (like Victor Frankenstein, a student of Paracelsus and Cornelius Agrippa) who 200 years previously acquired the titular elixir of Immortality from his late mentor.”—The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction “In The Elixir of Life Arthur Ransome attains some darkly excellent effects despite a general naiveté of plot.” —H.P. Lovecraft, Supernatural Horror in Literature
