Abstract

The article examines the strong interest in spiritualism in the U.S. in the 1920s as a consequence of both the Great War and the national prosperity that followed. Topics discussed include the differing positions of British writer and physician Arthur Conan Doyle and American-Hungarian illusionist Harry Houdini on spiritualism and the impact of science on religion during the period.
