Emma Hardinge Britten (1823-1899) was one of the most famous nineteenth century advocates of Spiritualism. She supposedly developed her psychic talents whilst employed by a secret quasi-Masonic fraternity as a medium whilst still a child. In adulthood she became one of six founding members of the Theosophical Society, and also founded an umbrella organization for Spiritualist groups: the Spiritualists National Union. She wrote a number of books, including Ghost Land, in which she tells of her spiritualist and occult experiences and beliefs through a series of autobiographical sketches. Please see Table of Contents for more detail.
