"Spiritualism, Mesmerism and the Occult, 1800-1920". 5 Volume collection (Pickering & Chatto, 2012), edited by Dr Shane McCorristine (NUI Maynooth / University of Cambridge).
This edition provides an important insight into the dark areas between science, medicine and religion in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This five-volume collection is organized thematically and spans the period from initial mesmeric experiments to the decline of the Society for Psychical Research in the 1920s. It includes a wide range of rare source material which illustrates the variety of different debates and opposing viewpoints, while a full editorial apparatus allows a nuanced reading of the texts. The set is a significant addition to the growing research on spiritualism and will be of interest to scholars of the history of science and medicine, parapsychology and Victorian studies.

Regards,
Dr Shane McCorristine
