Theatres in the Skull: The Society for Psychical Research and Actress Narratives -- Well-tuned Mediums: May Sinclair and Dorothy Richardson-- Phantasms of Florence Cook in Michele Roberts' In the Red Kitchen -- Natural and Spiritual Evolutions: A. S. Byatt's Angels and Insects --The Other World Illuminated: Wiring Science, Text and Spirit in Victoria Glendinning's Electricity -- Queering the éSance: Sarah Waters' Affinity.

This original and imaginative study examines the influence of Victorian spiritualism and Psychical Research on a variety of modern and contemporary female authors. It explores both the materialand ghostly connections between women's writing - particularly the work of Micèhle Roberts, A.S. Byatt, Victoria Glendinning and Sarah Waters - and the practice of mediumship in the nineteenth century. For the first time, itprovides a sustained analysis of how and why the haunted world of Victorian spiritualism has been appropriated and reimagined in late twentieth-century fiction. In addition, it shows how many of the apparently unprecedented innovations of modernism are in fact already present in therituals, performances and documents of the Victorian ésance. Supportedby compelling archival research throughout, the book not only demonstrates how a unique selection of nineteenth- and twentieth-century texts are bound together by phantasmal ties but also shows how spiritualism forcesus to reconsider our wider understanding of history, narrative and the afterlife.
