The distinguished surgeon and medical writer Walter Cooper Dendy
(1794 1871) published On the Phenomena of Dreams in 1832. The work
carefully traces the history of western thought and philosophy on
the topic of dreams and visions, examining authors from Aristotle
to Hume and Pyrrho to Berkeley, and maps the development of
poetical and literary traditions on the subject. Dendy's work then
moves to an attempt to find a medical explanation and material
source for dreams, psychic visions and illusions. Dendy presents
his concept of a ghost as an intense idea, and attempts to classify
and categorise different types of psychic experiences. Dendy's work
was a pioneering attempt to find scientific solutions to
supernatural phenomena. Very popular at the time, it now offers an
invaluable insight into the Victorian fascination with the occult
and the desire to approach the supernatural with reason and the
rigours of scientific investigation.
