Recenzii
“Second Sight in the Nineteenth Century: Prophecy, Imagination and Nationhood is its interdisciplinarity. Richardson convincingly draws readers through the entanglements of positivist scientific discourse, literary aesthetic production, and nationalist rhetoric to argue that each participated in a larger project: the colonization of the Scottish imagination.” (Jayda Coons, The Wilkie Collins Journal, wilkiecollinssociety.org, April 25, 2019)

Caracteristici
Explores the under-studied tradition of second sight, prominent in nineteenth-century popular culture but largely ignored by the modern scholarship Throws light on ever-changing boundaries between magic, epistemology, and science Examines questions of nationhood and identity alongside those posed by supernatural phenomena
