• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The following book is an interesting glimpse into the beginning of modern spiritualism, which lasted for 125 years, and became known as of the most influential social religious movement. Central to its belief system is that an individual's awareness persists after death and may be contacted by the living. The book contains the first-hand experience of one of the oldest of the Fox sisters, Leah. She and her two sisters from Rochester, New York played an important role in the creation of modern spiritualism. The two younger sisters used "rappings" to convince their older sister and others that they were communicating with spirits. Their older sister then took charge of them and managed their careers for some time. They all enjoyed success as mediums for many years.

Autorenporträt

A. Leah Underhill stands as a notable figure in the spiritualist movement of the late 19th century, particularly renowned for her 1885 work, 'The Missing Link in Modern Spiritualism.' As a proponent of spiritualism, Underhill's literary endeavors contributed to the burgeoning field of psychic studies, providing insight into the nature of mediums, the afterlife, and communication with the deceased. Her book is a significant contribution to the spiritualist literature, as it attempts to bridge the gap between empirical evidence and spiritual practices, seeking to legitimize the movement in the eyes of both the public and the skeptical scientific community. Although details regarding her personal biography, including her early life, education, and the breadth of her other works remain elusive, 'The Missing Link in Modern Spiritualism' endures as a testament to her commitment to the spiritualist cause. Within its pages, Underhill passionately argues for the acceptance of spiritualist phenomena through the lens of personal experiences and the testimonies of various mediums, aiming to construct a coherent framework that affirms the spiritualist's worldview. Her authorial voice is characterized by a blend of narrative exposition and evidential presentations, making her work accessible to a lay audience while also engaging individuals immersed in the spiritualist discourse. Underhill's contributions to spiritualism remain an integral part of the historical mosaic that reflects the period's complex interplay between science, religion, and the occult.
