The Virago book of Victoria...
In this collection of twenty ghostly tales, all by women writers, some acknowledged classics rub shoulders with several rare and unfamiliar tales, including those by Amelia Edwards, Dinah Mulock and Ella D'Arcy. The definition of the Victorian Age is slightly extended at each end, from 1833 to 1903, to accommodate a very early pastiche by Charlotte Bronte and closing at the turn of the century with two American stories by Willa Cather and Mary E. Wilkins
