A Visit from the Banshee book cover

Professor Gerardine Meaney of Insight at UCD has spearheaded the digitisation of the British Library archive and is mining this rich collection as part of her work on the European cultural analytics project VICTEUR. Now that this vast collection is searchable, many new links can be made across texts. One of the literary patterns coming to light is the long-forgotten Christmas Ghost story tradition. The annual gathering around the fire to share stories of hauntings has always been associated with Victorian Britain. However, Ireland has its own Christmas ghost story heritage. In collaboration with the Museum of Literature of Ireland, Insight presents a new collection of Irish Ghost stories: A Visit from the Banshee. You can read all about it in the Irish Times.
