Troubled Homecomings: Rosa Praed and Lemuria1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2016
Extract
This paper has many beginnings. My interest in Rosa Praed's involvements with spiritualism and theosophy has taken me into the nineteenth century literatures and practices of spiritualism, to debates about the specification of human nature and human origins and to the recent literature on the administration and regulation of populations in the cities at the centre of Empire and the colonial periphery. But my thinking about Lemuria had been caught up with the ‘nowhere’ of Utopian discourse.
