In this volume, ghost stories are studied in the context of their
media, their place in history and geography. From prehistory to
this day, we have been haunted by our memories, the past itself, by
inklings of the future, by events playing outside our lives, and by
ourselves. Hence the lure of ghost stories throughout history and
presumably prehistory. Science has been a great destroyer of myth
and superstition, but at the same time it has created new black
boxes which we are filling with our ghostly imagination. In this
book, literature from the Middle Ages to Oscar Wilde and Neil
Gaiman, children's stories, folklore and films, ranging from the
Antarctic and Russia to Haiti, are covered and show the continuing
presence of spectral phenomena.
Ancient and modern Egypt feature in numerous fantastic stories by
Victorian and Edwardian writers. This book explores how works of
popular Egyptianising fantastic literature can be read as critical
texts which comment on the Oriental mind-set of Europe, and
especially Britain. The analysis of the genre and the discussion of
possible reasons for the frequent use of Egyptianising elements
show that Egypt was simultaneously a real and an imagined place - a
perfect ingredient to create gothic stories and magical events,
and, at the same time, of specific interest to Great Britain for
cultural and political reasons.
