- Title
"I Have No Disbelief": Spiritualism and Secular Agency in Elizabeth Stoddard's The Morgesons.
- Authors
Reed, Ashley
- Abstract
An essay is presented on spiritualism and secular agency in the 1862 novel "The Morgesons" by Elizabeth Stoddard. It examines the imagery of spritualism that laces the novel and argues that Stoddard uses the phenomena associated with spiritualist religion to explore socially disruptive circulations of agency and the cross-class connections and cross-gender they enable.
