The Haunted: A Social History of Ghosts
Owen Davies
This book examines the
social history of ghosts from the medieval period to the present. Belief
in them has been manipulated for political and religious purposes,
generated social panics and scandals, been a perennial source of
literary inspiration and learned investigation. Underpinning Davies'
approach is the awareness that for all the intellectual and scientific
advances of the last five centuries the belief in ghosts continues to be
vibrant and socially relevant. Understanding the history of ghosts
helps explain why we continue to feel haunted by the people of the past.
