Professor Christine Ferguson visits the cabin to discuss the later adventures of Professor Challenger! In 1925, Arthur Conan Doyle's serialisation of 'The Land Of Mist' began in the Strand magazine. This novel was the author's great attempt to make his decades-long interest in spiritualism palatable to the widest audience possible. Did he succeed? Did he portray the world of 1920s London accurately? And why did he choose Professor Challenger, the maverick of the scientific world, to play the stodgy establishment character? All this and more, in The Mists Clear Away! Includes: -All about the Edinburgh Edition of The Land Of Mist -Arthur Conan Doyle's own spiritualism -Why did ACD turn to Professor Challenger for his great spiritualist novel? -Spiritualism as a specifically feminine or masculine movement? -Challenger as the Establishment, rather than the Maverick -ACD's use of real-life Belfast researcher William Jackson Crawford -ACD's actual apocalyptic spiritualist messages -Lord John Roxton goes ghost-hunting!
