The Chatto Book of Ghosts by Jenny Uglow
Jenny Uglow's anthology gathers together the literature of ghosts in the form of stories, poems, newspaper extracts and film scripts. It ranges from supernatural events in the Bible and Norse epics, through the 19th-century writers, Dickens and James, to contemporaries like Will Self, A.S. Byatt, Seamus Heaney, Angela Carter, Michel Roberts and Peter Ackroyd. Themes include: premonitions; revenge; guilt; things that go bump in the night; love; and soldiers and sailors. These are woven together into a chronicle of the supernatural and its uses over the past 200 years.
Uglow, Jenny: - Jenny Uglow's books include prizewinning biographies of Elizabeth Gaskell and William Hogarth. The Lunar Men (FSG, 2002) was described by Richard Holmes as an extraordinarily gripping account, while Nature's Engraver won the National Arts Writers Award for 2007. A Gambling Man (FSG, 2009) was short-listed for the 2010 Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction. Uglow grew up in Cumbria and now lives in Canterbury, England.
