Through this vivid study, Jean-Claude Schmitt examines medieval
religious culture and the significance of the widespread belief in
ghosts, revealing the ways in which the dead and the living related
to each other during the middle ages. Schmitt also discusses
Augustine's influence on medieval authors; the link between dreams
and autobiographical narratives; and monastic visions and folklore.
Including numerous color reproductions of ghosts and ghostly
trappings, this book presents a unique and intriguing look at
medieval culture.
"Valuable and highly readable. . . . ["Ghosts in the Middle Ages"]
will be of interest to many students of medieval thought and
culture, but especially to those seeking a general overview of this
particularly conspicuous aspect of the medieval remembrance of the
dead."--Hans Peter Broedel, "Medieval Review"
"A fascinating study of the growing prevalence of ghost imagery in
ecclesiastical and popular writing from the fifth to the fifteenth
century."--"Choice"
