Spectres of the Self: Thinking about Ghosts and Ghost-Seeing in England, 1750–1920
McCorristine, Shane (IRCHSS CARA Postdoctoral Mobility Fellow, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen)
By examining a vast range of sources, this book considers the sheer variety of ideas of ghost-seeing in England from the Reformation to the twentieth century and argues that the ghost ultimately represented a spectre of the self, a symbol of the psychological hauntedness of modern experience.
