- Title
Speaking Machines and Ghostly Phantoms: The Claustrum Poetics of Voice and Dysfluency.
- Authors
Martin, Daniel
- Abstract
The article explores the association of ghostly and haunted factors to vocal dysfluencies and stuttered speech during the Victorian period. Topics discussed include the claims made by medical expert James Hunt regarding the possible cause of poor speech habits, the 1846 exhibition of the talking machine called Euphonia presented by inventor Joseph Faber in London, England, and the phenomenological explanations for vocal production highlighted in Henry Monro's book "On Stammering."
