Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. As America's bloodiest conflict, it is no surprise that the Civil War gave rise to a golden age of ghost stories. Popular publications were filled with accounts of ghostsghosts that appeared in the heat of battle, in the fretful quiet of picket duty, and in the miserable confines of hospitals and prisons. Civil War ghosts continued to haunt the troubled peace that followed, revealing that even so deadly a conflict left unresolved issues in its wake. In a nation forever altered by the war, these ghost stories speak to something far more meaningful than Americans' taste for spine-tingling entertainment. They provide powerful evidence of how they tried to put the trauma, grief, and anxieties inflicted by the Civil War to rest. By telling ghost stories, Americans created narratives that honored the dead, explained the unexplainable, and gave their experiences a broader sense of identity and purpose. In this annotated anthology of Civil War ghost stories, historians John R. Neff and Amy Laurel Fluker offer the first scholarly analysis of the significance of ghosts to the history and memory of the Civil War. Haunted by Memory includes hundreds of examples of ghostly tales that appeared in newspapers, periodicals, and books between 1861 and 1932. These tales both satisfied and fed popular demand for news, entertainment, and ghostlore, and became powerful tools of cultural memory. By bridging the study of the Civil War, folklore, and memory, this collection expands the parameters of cultural history and reveals how the supernatural became a lasting part of the commemorative landscape of the American Civil War.
