Conjuring the Spirit World by George Schwartz
£29.99
Spirits were in the air and the dead weighed heavily on the minds of Americans and Europeans in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Mediums and magicians from Houdini to Margery the Medium delved into the supernatural and offered communication with the departed at seances and magic shows, two interrelated forms of popular culture that relied heavily on works of art. Conjuring the Spirit World is the first illustrated volume to illuminate the art and objects that made medium and magician performances iconic during the height of the Spiritualism movement and beyond.
An international selection of paintings, photographs, posters, stage apparatuses, costumes, film, publications, and other objects reveal how audiences were entranced and mystified by these experiential performances, captivating willing believers and garnering skeptics as they navigated the intersecting realms of science and spirituality. Accompanying an exhibition at the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, a town with historic connections to Spiritualism, magic, and witchcraft.

Literary Hauntings identifies and describes the real-life locations that have inspired the best fictional ghost stories of Britain and Ireland. Notable examples are the Suffolk beach where M.R. James set his terrifying ‘ “Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad” ’, and the ruins of the Scottish mansion featured in Margaret Oliphant’s classic ‘The Open Door’.
This comprehensive gazetteer, consisting of 267 entries by experts and exponents in the genre, identifies the building in Dublin that inspired Joseph Le Fanu’s story ‘The House by the Churchyard’, and the canals where Elizabeth Jane Howard’s eerie ‘Three Miles Up’ is set. Both classic and contemporary ghost stories are included.
Literary Hauntings is designed to help readers track down landscapes, monuments, cities, towns and villages that have haunted writers of ghost stories for at least the last two hundred years. The gazetteer is also a celebration of the insight and craft that goes into writing a really good ghost story, a genre that is still sometimes overlooked today.
