The Canterville Ghost' was published in segments in 1887. This short story focuses on the Otis family's experiences living in Canterville Chase, a castle, and interacting with the castle's ghost.
One theme that arises is American versus British culture. We see this displayed most prominently in the beginning of the story, when the Otis family arrives at their temporary homestead. When Lord Canterville tells the Otis family of the ghost, Mr. Otis reply, 'I come from a modern country, where we have everything that money can buy. . .' He later emphasizes how an Americanized ghost would become a display in a public museum or would go on the road as a show.
