Characters Regular tragedy dealt mainly with the unhappy consequences of breaking the moral code. Theater critic Maurice Valency wrote in 1963, "From the standpoint of modern tragedy Ghosts strikes off in a new direction. Since then the play has fared better, and is considered a “great play” that historically holds a position of “immense importance”. Because of its subject matter, which includes religion, venereal disease, incest, and euthanasia, it immediately generated strong controversy and negative criticism. Like many of Ibsen's plays, Ghosts is a scathing commentary on 19th-century morality.

The story is told through the candid journals of four women who encounter a mysterious boatman in their journeys along the canals of England, especially the beautiful Shropshire Union Canal known by boaters and locals as "the Shroppie." The boatman speaks at times as though he stepped out of the distant past, and his identity may be as shrouded with mist as the canal itself, but for one of the women who venture aboard his traditional narrowboat the temptation of his love proves too great. The book is about many things, among them love and lust, but Phantom of the Shroppie is not a typical romance.
