Thurschwell examines the intersection of literary culture, the occult and new technology at the fin-de-siècle. Making unexpected connections between, for instance, speaking on the telephone and speaking to the dead, she examines how psychical research is reflected in the work of Henry James, George du Maurier and Oscar Wilde among others.
