Synopsis "anna kingsford 2 volume set: her life, letters, diary and work"
First published in 1896, this two-volume biography details the life of physician and spiritualist Anna Kingsford (1846-1888). Kingsford, one of the first women to obtain a degree in medicine, began her literary career at the age of thirteen and in her lifetime was known for campaigning against vivisection, involvement in the suffragette movement, and promotion of vegetarianism, as well as her spiritualist exploits. This biography was written by her friend and colleague, the spiritualist Edward Maitland (1824-1897), who served as Kingsford's protector while she studied in Paris. At the time of its publication, the work was not well received, the main criticism being that it focused on Maitland's psychic experiences rather than on Kingsford herself. Volume 1 includes her early life and meeting with Maitland. Volume 2 covers their shared spiritualist experiences and involvement with the Theosophical and Hermetic Societies.
