{"product_id":"literature-technology-and-magical-thinking-pamela-thurschwell-9780521022439","title":"Literature, Technology and Magical Thinking, 1880 1920","description":"Thurschwell examines the intersection of literary culture, the occult and new technology at the fin-de-si cle. She argues that as new technologies, such as the telegraph and the telephone, began suffusing the public imagination from the mid-nineteenth century on, they seemed to support the claims of spiritualist mediums. 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 DuMaurier and Oscar Wilde among others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pamela Thurschwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521022436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521022439\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 11\/10\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.48d","brand":"Pamela Thurschwell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896426914047,"sku":"9780521022439","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2cdb77e-4074-4f16-96d6-63442b77ff18.jpg?v=1721371373","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/literature-technology-and-magical-thinking-pamela-thurschwell-9780521022439","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
