This volume reflects on the ghostly and its varied manifestations
including the uncanny, the revenant, the echo, and other forms of
artistic allusion. These unsettling presences of the spectral other
occur in literature, history, film, and art. The ghostly (and its
artistic, literary, filmic, and cultural representations) remains
of burgeoning interest and debate to twenty-first century literary
critics, cultural historians, art historians, and linguists. Our
collection of essays considers the wider implications of these
representations of the ghostly and notions of the spectral to
define a series of different, but inter-related, cultural topics
(concerned with questions of ageing, the uncanny, the spectral,
spiritualism, eschatology), which imaginatively testify to our
compulsion to search for evidence of the ghostly in our everyday
encounters with the material world.
