The Other World; or, Glimpses of the Supernatural by Frederick George Lee

Description

The Other World; or, Glimpses of the Supernatural is a book by Frederick George Lee, first published in 1875. Compiled from a clerical and scholarly standpoint, the two-volume work gathers facts, records, and traditions relating to dreams, omens, apparitions, haunted places, witchcraft, necromancy and modern spiritualism. Its tone is at once reverent and inquisitive, addressing the Victorian interest in ghosts, the afterlife and miraculous occurrences while asking searching questions of materialism and scepticism. Lee, a Church of England priest with strong ties to the Oxford Movement, frames the collection as a sober survey rather than sensational entertainment: historical accounts, contemporary reports and theological reflection are woven together to explore how belief in the supernatural sits alongside Christian doctrine. The book will appeal to readers researching Victorian spiritualism, historical cases of apparitions and hauntings, and anyone interested in the cultural history of beliefs about the afterlife and the occult.
