Thurschwell argues that technologies began suffusing the public imagination from the mid-nineteenth century on: they seemed to support the claims of spiritualist mediums. Talking to the dead and talking on the phone both held out the promise of previously unimaginable contact between people: both seemed to involve 'magical thinking'. Thurschwell looks at the ways in which psychical research, the scientific study of the occult, is reflected in the writings of such authors as Henry James, George du Maurier and Oscar Wilde, and in the foundations of psychoanalysis. This study offers provocative interpretations of fin-de-sie?cle literary and scientific culture in relation to psychoanalysis, queer theory and cultural history. 410 0$aCambridge studies in nineteenth-century literature and culture ;$v32. 517 3 $aLiterature, Technology & Magical Thinking, 1880-1920 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMagic in literature 606 $aLiterature and technology$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLiterature and technology$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aEnglish literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPsychoanalysis and literature 606 $aHomosexuality and literature 606 $aSpiritualism in literature 606 $aOccultism in literature 606 $aTelepathy in literature 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMagic in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and technology$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and technology$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPsychoanalysis and literature. 615 0$aHomosexuality and literature. 615 0$aSpiritualism in literature. 615 0$aOccultism in literature. 615 0$aTelepathy in literature. 676 $a820.9/37 700 $aThurschwell$b Pamela$f1966-$01577652 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783044303321 996 $aLiterature, technology, and magical thinking, 1880-1920$93856451 997 $aUNINA
