History

This is a collection of Literary Exhibitions created in fall, 2023, by students of James Madison University through the course ENG329: Haunted Victorians. Included in this Anthology are five ghost stories from the long Victorian period: all have been annotated by the student editors, and all have an accompanying gallery of images and an interpretive introduction essay (a "Catalog") composed by the editorial teams. Please join us for some ghostly meditations and explorations!
