Englands Lost Eden by Philip Hoare

A kaleidoscopic story of myth, Spiritualism, and the Victorian search for Utopia from one of the brightest and most original non-fiction writers at work today.

'This is a terrific idiosyncratic piece of popular history’ Sunday Times

‘Philip Hoare has written of Mary Ann Girling with awe and respect' Craig Brown.’ Mail on Sunday

'A rich and rewarding account of Victorian religious cults.' Independent on Sunday

‘The book reveals an unglimpsed Victorian England – one pre-figured, perhaps, in late Dickens – a queasily halluncinatory, twilight place' Guardian

‘A compelling history.’ Scotland on Sunday

‘Philip Hoare’s writing is quite untrammelled by convention and opens up astonishing views at every turn.’ W.G. Sebald
