In this pathbreaking study, the historical relationship between
nineteenth-century spiritualism and twentieth-century surrealism is
the basis for a general examination of conflicting movements in
literature, art, philosophy, science, and other areas of social
life. Because spiritualism delved into the world beyond humanity
and surrealism was founded on the world within, the two provide a
provocative frame for examining the struggles within modern
culture. Cottom argues that we must conceive of interpretation in
terms of urgency, desire, fierce contention, and impromptu
deviation if we want to understand how things come to bear meaning
for us. He demonstrates that even when Victorians holding seances
and surrealists composing manifestoes were most foolish, they had
much that was valuable to say about the life (and death) of reason.
