M·R·詹姆斯
蒙塔格·羅德斯·詹姆斯 OM FBA(英語:Montague Rhodes James,1862年8月1日—1936年6月12日)是一位英國作家、中世紀學者,劍橋大學國王學院(1905-1918)和伊頓學院(1918-1936)院長,也是劍橋大學的校長(1913-15)。
詹姆斯作為中世紀學者的工作受到高度重視,[1]但最令人難忘的是他的鬼故事,有些人認為他的作品是該類型的最佳。他為新世紀重新定義了鬼故事,放棄了許多前輩的哥德式陳詞濫調,使用了更現實的當代背景。然而,他的主人公和情節往往反映了他自己的尚古興趣,包含古文書、歴史遺物、史跡等元素。[2]因此,他被稱為 "尚古鬼故事"的鼻祖。[3]
