| Summary: | "In reconstructing the history of Modern Spiritualism, scholars have largely focused on its Anglo-American, French, and German developments, often overlooking the Italian context. Modern Spiritualism in Italian Literature and Culture (1765-1969) challenges this perspective by examining the Italian case as a space of intersection between transnational currents of thought and deeply rooted cultural traditions.

This volume traces the circulation and transformation of spiritualist ideas across different media and disciplines, analyzing their impact on literature, psychology, and science.
