The Victorian Ghost Story and Theology: From Le Fanu to James

Zoë Lehmann Imfeld

An academic study examining the intersection of Victorian ghost story literature and theological thought, spanning works from Sheridan Le Fanu to M.R. James. Published by Palgrave Macmillan, the book explores how religious and spiritual concerns shaped the ghost story genre during the Victorian era. The cover features a dramatic monochromatic illustration of a figure standing in a doorway with arms outstretched, evoking the eerie atmosphere of the genre under discussion.
