M. R. James (1862-1936) redefined the ghost story for the new century by abandoning many of the formal Gothic clichés of his predecessors and using more realistic contemporary settings. However, Jamess protagonists and plots tend to reflect his own antiquarian interests. Accordingly, he is known as the originator of the "antiquarian ghost story". He was was a medievalist scholar and provost of Kings College, Cambridge (1905–18), and of Eton College (1918–36). Though Jamess work as a medievalist is still highly regarded, he is best remembered for his ghost stories, which are regarded as among the best in the genre.
