Its twenty-four chapters provide a historical overview of the development of the ghost story and explore it in light of the 'new' contexts of the period, including mechanisation, imperialism and changes to the economy. As a much-needed survey of critical work on the ghost story, it features detailed analysis of major Victorian writers such as Charles Dickens, Margaret Oliphant, Charlotte Riddell and Henry James, and it examines the places haunted by Victorian ghosts: haunted houses but also haunted museums, fells, pyramids and seascapes. By engaging with ecocriticism, race, colonialism, class and gender, this interdisciplinary Companion constitutes a significant scholarly contribution to the Victorian ghost story and how it relates to a broader Gothic tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399521497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399521499\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.94d","brand":"Andrew Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202276311295,"sku":"9781399521499","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_377d8038-d674-40c6-9a4a-7ac99cd3b376.jpg?v=1756820130","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-victorian-ghost-story-andrew-smith-9781399521499","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
