Spirits and Spirituality in Victorian Fiction

“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)
