Reviews
Franklin reconstructs a significant debate in mid- to late-nineteenth century culture, and by rereading these texts in the light of new work critiquing the 'secularization thesis' manages to throw important new light on the material. Spirit Matters will be of interest to a broad readership, including historians and literature specialists working in nineteenth-century studies, the history of religion, and the history of occultism and esotericism. --Joy Dixon, Associate Professor of History, University of British Columbia Spirit Matters, dealing with the more esoteric rather than mainstream nineteenth-century religious beliefs, is bound to be of interest to Victorian scholars and enjoys the great virtue of being lucidly presented. --Elisabeth Jay, Emerita Professor of English, Oxford Brookes University
