Modern Spiritualism: A History And A Criticism Volume 2 is a book written by Frank Podmore. The book provides a comprehensive history and critique of modern spiritualism, a movement that emerged in the 19th century and claimed to communicate with the dead. Podmore's work is divided into two volumes, with the second volume covering the period from 1870 to 1910. The book begins with an overview of the development of spiritualism in the United States, including the rise of mediums and the establishment of spiritualist organizations. Podmore then examines the spread of spiritualism to Europe and its impact on various intellectual and cultural movements. He also discusses the role of women in spiritualism and the ways in which spiritualist beliefs intersected with feminism and other social movements.Throughout the book, Podmore offers a critical analysis of spiritualist practices and beliefs. He examines the evidence for psychic phenomena and argues that much of what spiritualists claimed was the result of fraud or self-deception. He also critiques the spiritualist movement's political and social views, which he argues were often regressive and reactionary.Overall, Modern Spiritualism: A History And A Criticism Volume 2 is a detailed and insightful exploration of the spiritualist movement and its impact on society. Podmore's work remains an important resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of spiritualism and the paranormal.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
