The English Mesmerists by Frank Podmore is a comprehensive historical account of the development and practice of mesmerism in England during the 19th century. The book explores the lives and work of prominent English mesmerists, including John Elliotson, James Esdaile, and James Braid, and their contributions to the field of mesmerism. Podmore delves into the controversies surrounding mesmerism, including debates over its scientific legitimacy and ethical implications. He also examines the influence of mesmerism on other areas of thought and practice, such as spiritualism and hypnosis. The English Mesmerists provides a fascinating insight into a little-known aspect of Victorian England, and sheds light on the complex interplay between science, medicine, and popular culture during this period.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Mediums of the 19th Century Part 1, by Frank Podmore.
