Abstract

Is it possible to speak of the writer M. R. James as one of the finest landscape artists of the early 20th century? His revered ghost stories are often more about the haunting of place than of people. With Suffolk dominating his purview, the pastoral, bucolic landscape we may associate with local painters such as Gainsborough, Constable, and Munnings is reframed as darkened by ghostly presences. This talk will explore James as landscape artist, unearthing the uncanny in our environs through his ghost stories.
