Routledge Ghost Stories by British and American Women Bibliography

Explore a significant collection of supernatural fiction with this selected, annotated bibliography from the Garland Reference Library of the Humanities. Originally published in 1998, this work documents a vast tradition of ghost stories written by women in English from the end of the 18th century to the present day. This resource addresses a gap in literary criticism by bringing attention to a body of work often ignored by traditional scholars. The writers included represent a wide range of literary reputations and personal histories, offering a much richer and more complex look at how the supernatural is handled in literature. By documenting these diverse voices, the book provides a foundation for understanding the true depth of female-authored supernatural fiction. It is an essential reference for researchers, students, and anyone interested in the history of horror and the evolution of the ghost story through the lens of women writers.
