With an Introduction and Notes by Martin Scofield, University of
Kent at Canterbury. Henry James was arguably the greatest
practitioner of what has been called the psychological ghost story.
His stories explore the region which lies between the supernatural
or straightforwardly marvellous and the darker areas of the human
psyche. This edition includes all ten of his ghost stories, and as
such is the fullest collection currently available. The stories
range widely in tone and type. They include 'The Jolly Corner', a
compelling story of psychological doubling; 'Owen Wingrave', which
is also a subtle parable of military tradition; 'The Friends of the
Friends', a strange story of uncanny love; and 'The Private Life',
which finds a shrewd, high comedy in its ghostly theme. The volume
also includes James's great novella The Turn of the Screw, perhaps
the most ambiguous and disturbing ghost story ever written.
