TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - The ghosts, spectres and spirits in Calmet writings JO - Cuadernos Dieciochistas A1 - Agustí Aparisi, C. SP - 273 EP - 296 VL - 19 IS - N2 - In fantasy literature, the ghost represents a transgression of reality; it is a supernatural entity anchored in a pragmatic, real world. As the phantom motif has been present since antiquity in the folklore of most cultures, in this article, we intend to combine anthropological tradition and literature. The Christian concept of death and eternal life, granted by the repentance of sins, shifts when exclusions are made of suicides, the murdered and the excommunicated. These tortured souls appear in the stories compiled in Calmet's treatise, which presents analytically, as chronicles or anecdotes, stories of Fantomes, Spectres et Esprits in a narratology of 19th century Anglo-Saxon ghost tales that share the same thematic structure as the stories told by Calmet. © 2018 Ediciones Universidad de Salamanca.
