The novelist and children's author Catherine Crowe (c.1800 1876)
published The Night Side of Nature in two volumes in 1848. This
lively collection of ghostly sketches and anecdotes was a Victorian
best-seller and Crowe's most popular work. Sixteen editions
appeared in six years, and it was translated into several European
languages. The stories are intertwined with Crowe's own
interpretations and commentaries which attack the scepticism of
enlightenment thought and orthodox religion. Crowe seeks instead to
encourage and re-invigorate a sense of wonder and mystery in life
by emphasising the supernatural. Volume 2 probes the mysterious
phenomena of troubled spirits, haunted houses, spectral lights,
apparitions and poltergeists. Crowe's vivid tales, written with
great energy and imagination, are classic examples of
nineteenth-century spiritualist writing and strongly influenced
other authors, including Charles Baudelaire, as well as providing
inspiration for later adherents of ghost-seeing and psychic
culture.
