This is a 2001 study of the intersection of literary culture, the occult and new technology at the fin-de-siecle. Pamela Thurschwell looks at the ways in which psychical research, the scientific study of the occult, is reflected in the writings of such authors as Henry James, George du Maurier and Oscar Wilde, and in the foundations of psychoanalysis.
