Daniel Dunglas Home (1833 1886) was a charismatic medium whose
seances were attended by European royalty and eminent Victorians
like Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Thrown out by his aunt because of
the paranormal events which plagued him since childhood, Home
became a 'professional house guest' and medium at the age of 17.
During seances he purportedly levitated, handled hot coals and
channelled the voices of the dead. This volume, first published in
1877, is an evocative examination of spiritualism which explores
the history of the practice via the Greeks, the Romans, and Joan of
Arc. Simultaneously attacking fraudulent mediums while celebrating
'true' spiritualist practitioners, this fascinating work details
both the criticism and support received by Home and features
reproductions of numerous fan letters. Although colourful and
impassioned, Home's polemic is written in an amiable style and
provides fascinating insights into the life and work of the
self-proclaimed 'Grandfather of English Spiritualism'.
