A history driven by interests in psychical research, this book traces Victorian spiritualist movements from origins in the work of the eighteenth-century Austrian physician Friedrich Mesmer. Starting from Mesmer's Animal Magnetism, Podmore discusses spiritualism, theosophy, and Christian Science, and provides a biography of important individuals in these movements.
