The fictional ghost story is demonstrated by English authors, from J. S. Le Fanu and M. R. James to Walter de la Mare and Robert Aickman, and by American authors such as Edith Wharton, writing in the English tradition. Though its heyday coincided with the golden age of Empire in the nineteenth century, the ghost story enjoyed a second flowering between the two World Wars and even now still attracts dedicated practitioners and readers. 201068 1986 The Oxford Book of English Ghost Stories (Oxford Books of Prose) total:37|5:11|4:20|3:6|2:0|1:0| 37 153 65 4 5 1 false false Sat Apr 25 20:59:04 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 25 21:08:11 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1990 Sun Feb 15 16:56:38 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 15 16:57:14 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Nov 07 13:49:11 -0800 2007 Fri Nov 09 10:30:36 -0800 2007 4 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Tue Sep 18 06:52:04 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 18 06:54:44 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Wed Nov 18 20:27:40 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 20:27:40 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 15 17:18:43 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 17:18:43 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 13 06:03:13 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 06:03:13 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Nov 03 06:43:22 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 06:43:22 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Oct 20 13:33:29 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 19 15:28:30 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 13:33:29 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Oct 18 07:11:31 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 07:11:55 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Oct 18 05:40:57 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 05:41:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 01 14:21:24 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 23:41:37 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 15 20:21:04 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 20:21:04 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Sep 06 16:01:20 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 16:01:20 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Aug 24 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 06 07:05:47 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 07:05:47 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Aug 20 20:45:27 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 20:45:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 12 10:50:54 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 10:50:54 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Aug 09 05:23:56 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 09 05:23:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 08 10:02:16 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 08 10:03:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 05 18:37:33 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 18:37:33 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=207743
