Reviews

Jen Cadwallader's lively, accessible, and very insightful Spirits and Spirituality in Victorian Fiction brilliantly problematises readings of ghost stories as articulations of an agnostic sensibility ... . Cadwallader performs sensitive and careful close readings of these stories, as well as providing a powerful sense of the complexity of the ghost story's position in Victorian culture. I recommend Spirits and the Spiritual in Victorian Fiction very strongly. (Jarlath Killeen, The Irish Journal of Gothic and Horror Studies, Vol. 16, 2017)
