Book Description
Published anonymously in 1882, Confessions of a Medium is the thinly-disguised factual account of the partnership between two important mediums of the 1870s and early 1880s: the Englishman William Chapman, and the American Alfred H. Firman. Written by Chapman in the wake of Firman's abandonment of Chapman on the Continent, and Firman's subsequent "self-exposure" tour of English provincial towns, Confessions of a Medium is unique in the Spiritualist canon: an indubitably factual account of mediumistic work that gives its readers insight not only into the practices of fraudulent mediums, but also into the business of Spiritualism in nineteenth-century England, and into the milieu - the people, places and ideas - within which mediums practiced their profession.

Book Description
In Spiritualism's Place, four friends and scholars who produce the acclaimed Dig: A History Podcast, share their curiosity and enthusiasm for uncovering stories from the past as they explore the history of Lily Dale. Located in western New York State, the world's largest center for Spiritualism was founded in 1879. Lily Dale has been a home for Spiritualists attempting to make contact with the dead, as well as a gathering place for reformers, a refuge for seekers looking for alternatives to established paths of knowledge, and a target for skeptics. This intimate history of Lily Dale reveals the role that this fascinating place has played within the history of Spiritualism, as well as within the development of the women's suffrage and temperance movements, and the world of New Age religion. As an intentional community devoted to Spiritualist beliefs and practices, Lily Dale brings together multiple strands in the social and religious history of New York and the United States over the past 150 years: feminism, social reform, utopianism, new religious movements, and cultural appropriation. Podcasters and historians alike, Averill Earls, Sarah Handley-Cousins, Elizabeth Garner Masarik, and Marissa C. Rhodes each identify one site in Lily Dale and one theme that its history illuminates. They use those sites and themes to approach Lily Dale not as debunkers but as inquisitive researchers and storytellers. At the same time, they also reflect on their own relationships contending that it's never quite possible to separate grief, hope, faith, and friendship from understandings of the past. Spiritualism's Place breaks myths, unveils unexpected stories, and finds new ways to contemplate Spiritualism's role in American history.
