On June 9th of 1865, sitting comfortably on his train home from Paris, Charles Dickens had a brush with death. Workmen on a bridge had failed to signal that a section of the track was missing. Several of the carriages plunged into the river below, with Dickens’ own carriage left teetering at the top. The following year, Dickens would publish his most haunting ghost story, ‘The Signalman’. Claire Ashworth shows how this inspired tale is a representation of repressed trauma, that both looks back to Dickens’ own experiences but also anticipates the work of later psychological theorists.
