Description

There is No Death is a book by Florence Marryatt, first published in 1891. In this candid and curious work Marryatt records her personal investigations into spiritualism, describing séances, spirit communications and eyewitness experiences with leading mediums of the late-Victorian era. The book is written in an accessible, narrative style that blends firsthand anecdote with a thoughtful, questioning tone about life after death, the continuity of personality, and the evidence she collected for survival beyond the grave. Written by an established novelist who turned her attention to psychic phenomena in later life, the book stands at the intersection of popular Victorian literature and the era’s intense public interest in psychical research. Readers seeking historical accounts of séances, testimonies of spirit communication, or Victorian spiritualist writing will find this a valuable and readable source. Its combination of sceptical enquiry and heartfelt testimony has helped preserve its place among books on spiritualism and the afterlife.
