Matthew W. Sivils, professor of English, recently published “Sir Rohan’s Ghost. A Romance.” The book was published by Anthem Press.

Originally published in 1860, the formative Gothic noel by Harriet Prescott Spofford (1835-1921), one of the nineteenth-century America’s most significan woman writers, relates the tale of a tormented British artistocrat who struggles to retain his sanity while suffering horrifying visitations from the specer of his dead lover amid the agonies of an already fragile mind.
