About this product

Product Information

Ghost stories have always provided a popular source of entertainment, thrilling readers with tales of remote gothic castles and dark dungeons. In the nineteenth century, authors made the genre even scarier by bringing the uncanny within the sanctity of the middle-class home. Women writers especially saw the ghost story as an empowering form, using it to make subversive arguments about gender, class, sexuality, race, and money. In this electrifying collection, Melissa Edmundson showcases ten authors who led lives that challenged Victorian notions of how women should behave and brought those transgressive ideas into their fiction. This collection includes: THE FOUR-FIFTEEN EXPRESS Amelia B. Edwards SINCE I DIED Elizabeth Stuart Phelps THE SHADOW IN THE CORNER Mary Elizabeth Braddon THE GHOST AT THE RATH Rosa Mulholland FROM THE DEAD Edith Nesbit IN THE SEANCE ROOM Lettice Galbraith THE HOUSE WHICH WAS RENT FREE G. M. Robins THE LOST GHOST Mary E. Wilkins THE STRIDING PLACE Gertrude Atherton THE PRAYER Violet Hunt
