This book describes the ideological, intellectual, and literary role of ghost stories in late Renaissance France. It takes in prominent literary figures - Rabelais, Ronsard, Montaigne - as well as lesser known tracts and pamphlets to shed new light on the beliefs, fears, and desires of a period on the threshold of modernity.
