Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. This is a new and scholarly study of William Michael Rossettis seance diary, which is a fascinating first-hand source for the Rossetti brothers in the 1860s and offers a new perspective on the relationship between the Pre-Raphaelite circle and the spiritualist world.(Jan Marsh) As quirky and unsettling as the table-turnings it documents, this meticulously edited and annotated seance diary features guest-appearances from the spirits of John Polidori, Elizabeth Siddal and Gabriele Rossetti, among many notable others. Essential reading for anyone interested in the Pre-Raphaelites, Spiritualism, and the Victorian paranormal.(Dinah Roe, Reader in Nineteenth Century Literature, Oxford Brookes University) William Michael Rossettis seance diary is a remarkable document in both the history of Pre-Raphaelitism and nineteenth-century spiritualism. In this previously unpublished manuscript, Rossetti meticulously recorded twenty seances between 1865 and 1868. The original motive was the death, in 1862, of Dante Gabriel Rossettis wife, Elizabeth Siddal. He felt a profound sense of guilt about her and began these seances to reassure himself that she was happy in the afterlife. Messages came from many spirits within the Pre-Raphaelite circle and provide an unprecedented record of spiritualist activity in the late nineteenth century. Questions and answers fill the pages of the diary, many of them communicating uncannily accurate information or details that could be known only to the participants.This book also includes another unpublished document showing spiritualism in action. It comprises a long letter to Dante Gabriel Rossetti written in 1856 from the artist and spiritualist medium Anna Mary Howitt recounting her interactions with the spirit world and her (sometimes violent) experiences as she became aware of the extent of her psychic powers. Both sections of this book provide an original insight into the cult of spiritualism and throw considerable light on the interactions between members of the Pre-Raphaelite circle and beyond. This book includes two previously unpublished works that offer insights into the Pre-Raphaelites and the cult of spiritualism. William Michael Rossettis seance diary, a recording of twenty seances he attended in the 1860s, and a letter to Dante Gabriel Rossetti from spiritualist medium Anna Mary Howitt are presented with extensive introductions.
