Dealing with all aspects of the Victorian fascination for the occult, this title identifies issues such as the credulity of the believers, unexplained phenomena such as levitation and manifestations and the intense rivalry between professional mediums, who were not above sabotaging each other's seances.
Ronald Pearsall has been a journalist and a professional musician, and a lecturer for the British Council and for the Army. Sutton reissued his The Worm in the Bud:The World of Victorian Sexuality in 2003.
