This book argues that theology is central to an understanding of
the literary ghost story. Victorian ghost stories have
traditionally been read in the context of agnosticism - as stories
which reveal a society struggling with Christian orthodoxy in a new
'Enlightened' world. This book, however, uses theological ideas
from St Augustine through to modern theologians to identify a
theological journey taken by the protagonists of such stories, and
charts each stage of this journey through the short stories it
examines. It also proposes a theory of reader participation which
creates an imaginary space in which modern epistemology is
suspended. The book studies the work of four major authors of the
supernatural tale: Arthur Machen, M.R. James, Sheridan Le Fanu and
Henry James.
