"At a time when the New Age movement is starting to make good on
the Spiritualists' vision of America as a 'grand clairvoyant
nation', Carroll's work raises provocative questions about the
tension betwen freedom and authority in the harmonial religions of
today." Church History
..". offers the most comprehensive, sane examination of its
topic yet available, no mean achievement for a subject long
afflicted by religious partisanship and now perhaps in danger of
sympathetic attraction." Journal of American History
..". fascinating reading it will be for those with a taste for
good scholarly writing and a love of the American past and the
manifold varieties of the spiritual quest." The Quest
"In addition to being an excellent introduction to
mid-19th-century Spiritualism, Carroll s work also offers scholars
a new vantage point from which to view the religious creativity
that was so prominent in antebellum America in general." Choice
During the decade before the Civil War, a growing number of
Americans gathered around tables in dimly lit rooms, joined hands,
and sought enlightening contact with spirits. The result was
Spiritualism, a distinctly colorful religious ideology centered on
spirit communication and spirit activity. Spiritualism in
Antebellum America analyzes the attempt by spiritually restless
Americans of the 1840s and 1850s to negotiate a satisfying
combination of freedom and authority as they sought a sense of
harmony with the universe."
