Now in paperback, this is a new cultural history of the ghost--one of the most popular and pervasive subjects worldwide. Contemporary figures such as Muriel Spark, Hilary Mantel, and Jeremy Deller are also featured. Spanning from the medieval period to today, the book includes a wide range of artists and writers, including Hogarth, Blake, Rossetti, Shakespeare, Pepys, Shelley, and Dickens.
Our conceptions of ghosts--the fears they provoke, the forms they take--are connected to the conventions and beliefs of each particular era, from the marauding undead of the Middle Ages to the psychologically charged presences of our own age. The enduring popularity of ghosts in literature, art, folklore, and film attests to their continuing power to fascinate, terrify, and inspire.
