{"product_id":"anna-kingsford-volume-1-edward-maitland-9781108072731","title":"Anna Kingsford - Volume 1","description":"First published in 1896, this two-volume biography details the life of physician and spiritualist Anna Kingsford (1846-1888). Kingsford, one of the first women to obtain a degree in medicine, began her literary career at the age of thirteen and in her lifetime was known for campaigning against vivisection, involvement in the suffragette movement, and promotion of vegetarianism, as well as her spiritualist exploits. This biography was written by her friend and colleague, the spiritualist Edward Maitland (1824-97), who served as Kingsford's protector while she studied in Paris. At the time of its publication, the work was not well received; the main criticism directed towards the book was that it focused on Maitland's psychic experiences rather than on Kingsford herself. Volume 1 focuses on Kingsford's early life, Maitland's first meeting with her, their time in Paris and their first supernatural experiences together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Maitland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108072739\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108072731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.08d","brand":"Edward Maitland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47423509856511,"sku":"9781108072731","price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_790c7987-4d84-47ac-8d0f-7a62678795ed.jpg?v=1761528651","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anna-kingsford-volume-1-edward-maitland-9781108072731","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
