Book description
Published in 1977, Briggs’s study of the English ghost story starts with something of a misstep. Blurring the boundaries by treating the term ghost story ‘with something of the latitude that characterises the general usage, since it can denote not only stories about ghosts, but about possession and demonic bargains, spirits other than those of the dead, including ghouls, vampires, werewolves’, Briggs goes on to declare the ghost story a dead form: ‘a vehicle for nostalgia, a formulaic exercise content merely to recreate a Dickensian or Monty Jamesian atmosphere’. Besides missing the irony of ever declaring a ghost dead, this misses the fact that the 1970s saw a massive horror boom — mostly, yes, driven by an American author, Stephen King, but including some Brits, too, such as James Herbert and Ramsey Campbell — which not only brought ‘ghouls, vampires, werewolves’ to the fore again, but a good number of ghosts, too. (Ramsey Campbell’s The Influence being one of my favourites.)What Briggs does do, here, though, is follow the ghost story through a difficult transition period, after which the ghost story (in the strictest sense) really did seem to have reached a point of exhaustion, when the more literary use of the ghost to explore aberrant or awry psychology was ousted by Freud’s theories — which allowed the irrational to be treated directly, rather than only metaphorically — and then ended entirely by the very real horrors of the Great War. But Briggs, who’s best when looking in depth at individual works or writers, nevertheless finds writers who use ghosts or the supernatural in their own personal way even after this: Elizabeth Bowen, for instance, whose 1945 collection The Demon Lover ‘reveals her ghosts as somehow necessary to their victims, occupying spiritual voids left by the shock of war’, or Walter de la Mare. (If she’d mentioned Robert Aickman, it could well have destroyed her argument about the death of the ghost story, in its broadest sense, altogether.)Still, an interesting read, written at a time when such stories weren’t accorded much academic attention.
