Sinossi

Edinburgh's spectral tales are more than mere folklore; they are echoes of a tangible past, deeply intertwined with the city's history and cultural identity. Edinburgh Ghosts delves into these narratives, revealing how historical traumas, social anxieties, and enduring cultural traditions have shaped the haunted landscape of Scotland's capital. From plague outbreaks to witch trials, Edinburgh's past has left an indelible mark, influencing the ghost stories that persist today. These tales aren't just fanciful; they serve as a collective memory, preserving and transmitting the city's complex past. The book explores key haunted locations like Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile, providing historical context for associated legends. It examines the literary influence of figures like Robert Louis Stevenson and Sir Walter Scott, who amplified Edinburgh's eerie atmosphere in popular perception. Progressing through its chapters, the book illuminates the city's spectral reputation, explores the literary influences that shaped its ghostly image, and examines the modern context of Edinburgh’s ghost stories, including their role in tourism and contemporary media.

    The "revelatory" (The New York Review of Books) story of an ordinary man, his century, and his home. 
     
     
     
    Jamaica Kincaid's first obsession, the island of Antigua, comes vibrantly to life under the gaze of Mr. Potter, an illiterate chauffeur who makes his living along the wide, open roads that pass the only towns he has ever seen. The sun shines squarely overhead, the ocean lies on every side, and suppressed passion fills the air. 
     
     
     
    As Mr. Potter's narrative unfolds in linked vignettes, his story becomes the story of a vital, damaged community. Amid his surroundings, he struggles to live at ease: to purchase a car, to have girlfriends, and to shake off the encumbrance of his daughters―one of whom will return to Antigua after he dies and tell his story with equal measures of distance and sympathy. 
     
     
     
    In Mr. Potter, Kincaid breathes life into a figure unlike any other in contemporary fiction, an individual consciousness emerging gloriously out of an unexamined life.
