Independent spirits: spiritualism and English plebeians, 1850-1910 - 2

'Independent Spirits' is about the intellectual world of the humbly-born in late 19th- and early 20th-century Britain, focussing on plebeian, or working- and lower middle-class spiritualists.

This book is an important study which throws light on the idealism and search for knowledge that were so central in plebeian circles and in certain, very important parts of the labour movement during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

This title will be of interest to students of history.
