The Ghost Story in Medieval and Early Modern Culture

The Essay Question is: ‘Our ship made the outer limits, the Ocean River’s bounds, where Cimmerian people have their home – their realm and city shrouded in mist and cloud’ (Homer, Odyssey). What is the significance of the spaces in which ghosts appear?

The Essay does not necessarily need to focus on Homer’s Odyssey as it is a Medieval course, however the quote above is intended as a starting point. It would also be good if the essay involved multiple texts from different authors. I will supply an additional file that gives a list of texts covered on the course which is sorted into time periods and topics from the Ancient world to the 17th Century, and another file that outlines the basic requirements of the essay and other essay questions. (If the writer feels more comfortable writing on any of the other essay questions provided, that is perfectly fine). I can also provide extra extracts from texts discussed on the course for each time period at a request. This essay needs to be absolutely plagiarism free, as it needs to pass the Turnitin plagiarism checker.
