Spirit World and Spirit Life

About this book

Charlotte E. Dresser describes an afterlife where the dead still remember their families, recognise one another and try to send news back to the living. The spirit world, in her account, has its own work, relationships and opportunities to grow.

Spirit World and Spirit Life gathers messages Dresser believed came from people who had died. The descriptions are shaped by early twentieth-century Spiritualism, with its confidence that love and character outlast the grave. The interest lies in the intimate details of that imagined continuation: ordinary personalities trying to explain an extraordinary change to those still waiting for them.
