M·R·詹姆斯

蒙塔格·罗德斯·詹姆斯 OM FBA（，）是一位英国作家、中世纪学者，剑桥大学国王学院（1905-1918）和伊顿学院（1918-1936）院长，也是剑桥大学的校长（1913-15）。

詹姆斯作为中世纪学者的工作受到高度重视，"After W.R. James." (1970) The Book Collector 19 no 1 spring: 7-20但最令人难忘的是他的鬼故事，有些人认为他的作品是该类型的最佳。他为新世纪重新定义了鬼故事，放弃了许多前辈的哥特式陈词滥调，使用了更现实的当代背景。然而，他的主人公和情节往往反映了他自己的尚古兴趣，包含古文書、歴史遺物、史跡等元素。因此，他被称为 "尚古鬼故事"的鼻祖。Briggs, Julia (1986).
