The Other World

A study of the public fascination with spiritualism and psychical research in Victorian and Edwardian times.

Zusammenfassung
The Other World examines the public fascination with spiritualism and psychical research in Britain from the mid-nineteenth to the early twentieth century. It attempts to understand the reasons why artisans, intellectuals, and aristocrats alike embraced spiritualism as a surrogate religion or endorsed psychical research as the science of the future.
