Descrizione The Thought Reader Craze
Beginning in 1870, the hunger for scientific discovery in Great Britain drove prominent scientists, philosophers, and others to promote the legitimacy of telepathy. At the same time, mind-reading as a form of entertainment gained increasing popularity. This volume explores this unusual cultural phenomenon, showing how it endured through the years due to public scientific pronouncements, astonishing performances by the thought readers, and the rapidly changing industrial society.
