This thesis explores the use of architecture in the ghost story "Episode of Cathedral History" by Montague Rhodes James. The focus entails an examination of the architectural theories of John Ruskin, which impacted James's personal views on education, female empowerment, and Modernism. These views are reflected in "Episode of Cathedral History" as story elements that bear symbolic values that James hides under the auspices of entertainment for the purpose of creating a commentary and warning about the chaos of the emerging Modern world.
