Bennett, Bridget.

Transatlantic spiritualism and nineteenth-century American literature[electronic resource] /Bridget Bennett. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2007. - x, 247 p.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [185]-240) and index.

The Apparitional Past -- Crossing Over: The Spiritualist Atlantic --Revolutionary Spirits: The Persistence of the Occult -- Sacred Theatres: The Spiritist Performances of Shakerism in the 1830sand 1840s -- Spirited Away: The Death of Little Eva and the Farewell Performances of Katie King -- "There Is No Death": Spiritualism and the Civil War -- TheAfterlife of Spiritualism.

Why did so many Americans visit and write about, ésances? What are the connections between the 'emergence' of spiritualism in 1848 and earlier kinds of supernatural phenomena? This book asks about the cultural and political meanings of spiritualism in the 19th century United States. In orderto re-assess both transatlantic spiritualism and the culture in which it emerged, Bennett locates spiritualism within a highly technologized transatlantic capitalist culture. She argues that, throughperformances in which the dead speak through and to the living, white Americans' most profound anxieties about political and cultural dispossession, especially of Indians, are articulated.
