What kinds of metaphors do spirits, ghosts, mediums, mesmerists, theosophists, spectral actresses, evil servants, dead bodies and vampires offer in understanding womanhood in the nineteenth century? This collection examines the many interpretations of the occult in nineteenth-century culture and the ways that women used supernatural imagery and language to draw attention to issues that bore immediate implications on their own lives. This book was published as a special issue of Women's Writing.
