Early Modern Ghosts is a collection of academic papers on ghosts and apparitions in the late 16th and the 17th centuries. There are two sections, each containing four papers: the first concentrating on literature where ghosts in poetry and plays are examined, whilst the second contains papers which look at historical narratives which feature alleged apparitions, as well as touching on theological beliefs about the soul after death; the volume concludes with a paper of contemporary parapsychological views of apparitions. All the papers were originally given at a one day colloquium of the same name held at St. Johns College, Durham on 24th March 2001.
