Victorian Culture of Mourning and Grief

Author Steele Alexandra Douris joins me in this week's episode to discuss her book Spirits, Seers & Seances: Victorian Spiritualism, Magic, and the Supernatural. Steele discusses the history of spiritualism, how it was sometimes a force for social justice, the archetype of the gothic heroine and the final girl, and how Christmas was the season for ghost stories.
