M. R. James
M. R. James, montague Rhodes James (1862–1936), medievalist and Provost of King’s College, Cambridge, defined the English antiquarian ghost story: the dusty archive, the unwelcome discovery, the thing that should have been left alone. He read new tales aloud to friends at Christmas; “Canon Alberic’s Scrap-Book” and “Lost Hearts” were among the earliest.
About
Eton and King's,more especially, we experience James’s Continental trips, to Germany, Scandinavia, and, particularly, to his beloved France, undertaken in the company of College friends and associates. The Chitchat Society, which witnessed the reading of the first of MRJ’s ghost stories, also puts in an appearance when James discusses the life and workings of various College societies with which he was involved; and finally MRJ guides us through his work with manuscripts and his duties as Provost. This new edition of Eton and King’s has been fully indexed by Rosemary and Darroll Pardoe, who have also provided an Introduction. A further article “New and Old at Cambridge”, which MRJ contributed to The Times, is also included as an appendix.
