Steele Alexandra Douris

Spiritualism in the Age of Sherlock Holmes and Edgar Allan Poe 
 
 
 
A woman wearing a black veil convenes a séance. A magician puts a volunteer into a trance. A fortune-teller leans over a crystal ball. Everyone knows what Victorian mysticism looks like because our modern imagery, language, and practice of magic borrows heavily from the Victorians. But we have little understanding of its spiritual, cultural, and historical foundations. 
 
 
 
What made the Victorians turn to mediumship, hypnotism, and fortune-telling? What were they afraid of? What were they seeking? 
 
 
 
This book explores the history of automatic writing, cartomancy, clairvoyance, and more. It reveals how Victorian belief in ghosts, fairies, and nature spirits shaped our celebrations of Halloween and Christmas. With historic examples and hands-on exercises, you will discover how spiritualism in the time of Jack the Ripper, Jane Eyre, "A Christmas Carol," and Dracula left such a profound impact on both the past and present.

The Emperors of Rome - A...

Rogan Fish

The Founding Emperors of Rome laid the groundwork for the Roman Empire, marking a shift from the Roman Republic to imperial rule. Augustus, Tiberius, and Caligula stand as the pivotal figures in this transformation, each shaping the empire in distinct ways.
Augustus, born Gaius Octavius, was the first emperor and one of the most successful leaders in Roman history. His reign, from 27 BCE to 14 CE, ushered in the Pax Romana, a period of relative peace and prosperity. Augustus was not only a military genius but also a skilled politician who effectively consolidated power. By presenting himself as the restorer of the Roman Republic, he maintained a delicate balance between autocratic rule and the preservation of traditional republican institutions. Augustus implemented numerous reforms, including the establishment of a professional standing army and a system of taxation that stabilized the empire’s finances. His legacy is marked by the expansion of Roman territory and the establishment of Rome as the center of the ancient world.
Following Augustus, his stepson Tiberius became emperor in 14 CE. Tiberius' reign is often seen as a contrast to Augustus. While Augustus sought to maintain the image of republican values, Tiberius became increasingly reclusive and suspicious, particularly in the later years of his reign. His reign was marked by significant military achievements, including the consolidation of Rome’s frontiers in Germania and the Balkans, but his reign was also tainted by political purges and a growing atmosphere of distrust. Tiberius left the throne to his adopted son Caligula, but the political instability and paranoia of his reign would have lasting consequences on the empire.

Daily Roman Life - How Ordinary...

Rogan Fish

This bundle of books brings the ancient world of Rome to life by immersing readers in the everyday experiences of its people. Far from the battles and politics that dominate history books, this volume explores how Roman citizens spent their days—from bustling markets in the forum to quiet evenings with family in modest insula apartments or rural villas. Readers will gain insight into the structure of Roman homes, the diet of the average citizen, and the significance of clothing, hygiene, and household roles in shaping Roman identity. 
The second part of the book focuses on work and social structure. Whether farmers in the countryside, artisans in the city, or traders in the empire’s vast markets, Romans occupied a wide range of roles. The influence of slaves, apprenticeships, and labor guilds is discussed alongside the rising middle class and their contributions to the Roman economy. Readers will also learn about education for boys and girls, how marriage and divorce functioned, and the importance of public spaces like bathhouses, theaters, and circuses in daily life. 
The final section explores Roman religious life—both public and private. From ancestor worship at household shrines to elaborate temple ceremonies for gods like Jupiter, Venus, and Mars, religion permeated every aspect of Roman existence. This section also covers omens, superstitions, and the Roman calendar of festivals that blended spirituality with community. Daily Roman Life presents a vivid portrait of a complex, vibrant society—reminding us that behind every empire are the lives of ordinary people who cooked, prayed, worked, and dreamed.

The History of England Volume 4...

David Hume

In Volume 4, Hume closes his account of ‘England Under the House of Tudor’ begun in Volume 3, and devotes it entirely to the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It was not really expected that she would survive to accede to the monarchy; and it was certainly unexpected that she would rule for so long (1558-1603) while steadfastly declining to take a husband. All in all, her reign was a remarkable achievement.
Elizabeth had so much to contend with over the years. From the start, she had to oversee the reinstatement of the Protestant religion after the tumultuous reign of her sister, Mary. Then came the testing matter of Mary, Queen of Scots which dragged on for decades.
There were also numerous Catholic conspiracies (many threats to her personally), requiring close attention by her protective spymaster ministers William Cecil and Francis Walsingham.
Then there were the complex relationships with other leading European powers, France and Spain, culminating in the spectacular climax in 1588 when Sir Francis Drake (and the weather) routed the Spanish Armada.
Hume does not approach Elizabeth and her reign with the ‘unbounded panegyrics’ so often adopted by historians before him. He criticises them for ‘having been so extremely ignorant of the transactions of this reign as to extol her for a quality which, of all others, she was the least possessed of – a tender regard for the constitution, and a concern for the liberties and privileges of her people.’ This, Hume insists, was not quite Elizabeth.
Despite acknowledging her popularity, Hume is at pains in his History to present a more rounded portrait. ‘The prerogatives of this princess were scarcely ever disputed, and she therefore employed them without scruple: Her imperious temper, a circumstance in which she went far beyond her successors, rendered her exertions of power violent and frequent, and discovered the full extent of her authority.
However, he continues, ‘the great popularity, which she enjoyed proves that she did not infringe any established liberties of the people’.
In Volume 4, Hume shows himself to be a historian of character and clarity, but also demonstrates his scholarly integrity. In the controversial issue of the guilt or innocence of Mary, for example, he went back to original documents to support his opinion. This is why his History of England remains an informative and stimulating account in the 21st century.
