My haul:

• Braude, Ann. Radical Spirits: Spiritualism and Women's Rights in Nineteenth-Century America.
  
• Coward, Rosalind. Female Desires: How They Are Sought, Bought and Packaged.
  
• Driesch, Hans. Psychical Research.
  
• Home, D. D. Incidents in My Life.
  
• Lea, Henry C. Superstition and Force.
  
• Russ, Joanna. The Two of Them.
  
• Spencer, Wen. A Brother's Price.
  
• Strouse, Jean. Alice James.
  
• Tiedemann, Mark W. Remains.
  
• Vicinus, Martha, ed. Suffer and Be Still: Women in the Victorian Age.
  
• Winter, Jay. Sites of Memory, Sites of Mourning: The Great War in European cultural history.
  
• Zwinger, Lynda. Daughters, Fathers, and the Novel: The Sentimental Romance of Heterosexuality.

From which you may deduce that I am beginning, in a haphazard fashion, to research Victorian women's relationship with the Spiritualist movement and the occult. There's a novel in there somewhere.

Have you read Sarah Waters' Affinity, in which a Victorian lady becomes involved with a medium who was imprisoned after a seance went wrong?
