Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An amazing and extaordinary account of how an ordinary group of people could experience a huge range of psychic phenomena. With the 'supernatural' being an every day occurence. At the end of the 19th century, the group formed a Society to develop and safely practise the paranormal. Villified by the public and critics, the Spiritualists fought back against those who said they were involved in witchcraft, demons and possession in order to assert a "rugged individualism" in matters of the spirit. For the first time the role of class within the psychic community is examined. The impact of the Fist World War and social conditions is looked at in particular reference to people in the city of York and using a wealth of new material and photographs, never before published, from local and national archives the author is able to explore in depth the lives of the Society and the experience of attending a Physical Seance over an extended period of more than 30 years at the beginning of the 20th century.

Download or read book Byron's Ghosts written by Gavin Hopps and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Byron's Ghosts British and American scholars join together to overturn some of the prevailing assumptions that romance scholars have made about Byron, offering a fresh new reading of his poetry. Informed by recent critical theory focused on spectrality, they look at ghosts in his work, both in the conventional sense—what Mary Shelley once described as the “true, old-fashioned, foretelling, flitting, gliding ghost”—and in a postmodern sense, one concerned with a range of phantom effects. Balancing attention on these diverse concepts of the ghost, their essays complicate the popular images of Byron as a materialist, skeptic, and anti-Romantic, revealing crucial new insights about his poetry.
