- Sinopsis
- "The Residence of Whitminster" is a short story by James Rhodes Montague. Dr. Thomas Ashton was a wealthy man and childless, and he had adopted the orphan son of his wife's sister, Frank Sydall. Then one day came a letter from an Irish peer, the Earl of Kildonan, who had known Dr. Ashton at college, putting it to the doctor whether he would consider taking into his family the Viscount Saul, the Earl's heir, and acting in some sort as his tutor. Lord Kildonan was shortly to take up a post in the Lisbon Embassy, and the boy was unfit to make the voyage. Now almost a century later, the new occupants of Whitminster, Dr. Ashton's former home, are about to uncover the details of the tragic death of the young Viscount Saul.
- Acerca de Montague Rhodes James
Montague Rhodes James (1862-1936) was an English academic best known for his mediaeval scholarship, holding the position of provost at King's College, Cambridge and later Eton, and his antiquarian ghost stories. He enjoyed entertaining his friends on Christmas Eve with his contemporary, realistic ghost stories that abandoned previous Gothic clichés. He even inspired a method of story telling known as Jamesian; elements often included in a Jamesian tale are an older scholar as the protagonist and an antique object that summons a supernatural presence.
