A work of spirit-written letters from a mortal hand, this volume reveals how Spiritualism challenged Harvard’s old guard and public belief. It blends personal memory with a history of experiments, debates, and the push to verify unseen forces.
The book frames a long quarrel over whether spirits return to the living, and what such returns mean for science, religion, and society. It follows firsthand accounts of investigators, editors, and witnesses, and it shows how ideas about nature and possibility evolved in the 19th century.
- Learn how professors and editors debated Spiritualism and tested alleged phenomena
- See how the idea of spirit return challenged traditional views of miracles and nature
- Read about the people and events that shaped public opinion in the era
- Explore the author’s reflections on truth, faith, and social change
Ideal for readers curious about 19th‑century Spiritualism, documentary history, and the evolving boundaries between science and belief.
