Frank Podmore (1856 1910) published Modern Spiritualism in two
volumes in 1902. It was the first comprehensive history of the
Spiritualist movement. Podmore traces the historical development of
Spiritualism from its earliest origins in animal magnetism and
alchemy, to its apogee in the early nineteenth century and through
to its decline from 1870 onwards, which Podmore associated with the
growth of professional psychics and an increase in fraud. Volume 1
covers the key figures of the movement: Paracelsus, Mesmer,
Bertrand, Esdaile, and Andrew Jackson Davis. Book 1 focuses on
French, English and German Spiritualism and Book 2 on American
Spiritualism and its beginnings in Arcadia. The volume includes
invaluable accounts of scientific investigations into possession,
poltergeists, clairvoyance, and trances. Podmore was a leading
member of the Victorian Society for Psychical Research and his work
remains an indispensable source for the modern-day historian of
nineteenth-century Spiritualism and occult practices.
