Spirits and Spirituality in Victorian Fiction

Spirits and Spirituality in Victorian Fiction by J. Cadwallader
2016 | ISBN: 1137559926 | English | 209 pages | PDF | 2 MB

As seen in fiction, newspaper accounts, and magic shows, the presence of ghosts pervaded the Victorian period. This book examines supernatural encounters in a wide range of Victorian writers including Dickens and Kipling. Cadwallader argues that these fictional spirits reflect how Victorians were adapting to rapid scientific and religious changes.
