Reviews
"[T]ruly innovative . . . By employing new source material and reading well-known sources in new ways, Seeman reveals an unobserved dimension of the lived religion of early American Protestants."-- American Religion, Seeman has written a clear, compelling account of the permeable boundary between the living and the dead in early America, full of rich anecdotes...Driven by women, who largely undertook the caretaking of the dead and the spiritual and emotional labor of mourning, Protestant Anglo-American culture upheld an intimacy with the dead, petitioning them for comfort, ventriloquizing them in poetry and epitaphs, and integrating their images and memory into family life. As Speaking with the Dead demonstrates, for those in mourning--which is all of us, eventually--the dead are never far away., Erik Seeman's meticulously researched and highly readable book reveals how the human desire for contact with the dead survived both the Protestant Reformation and the Enlightenment to prosper in North America. By locating new religious developments of the nineteenth century in a prehistory of spirit communication, he sheds light on the distinctly American roots of modern spirituality, as well as a more complex religious history of early America., "Seeman has written an important book on the history of Anglo-American Protestant communication with the dead. His stated purpose of this work was to discover the origins of séance Spiritualism...It offers a necessary, centuries-long background to any scholar reading in séance Spiritualism. Seeman has succeeded in his goals, and the "cult of the dead" is worthy of further historical study.", For more than two decades, Erik R. Seeman has been the leading authority on attitudes toward death in the early modern Atlantic world, and Speaking with the Dead in Early America is his most imaginative and compelling work to date. Seeman reconstructs the surprising history of Protestant communication with the dead during the two centuries prior to the advent of nineteenth-century Spiritualism, examining an impressive array of manuscript and published texts and material culture artifacts. The resulting book is deeply researched, compellingly written, and entirely persuasive., "Erik Seeman's meticulously researched and highly readable book reveals how the human desire for contact with the dead survived both the Protestant Reformation and the Enlightenment to prosper in North America. By locating new religious developments of the nineteenth century in a prehistory of spirit communication, he sheds light on the distinctly American roots of modern spirituality, as well as a more complex religious history of early America."--Ann Braude, author of Radical Spirits: Spiritualism and Women's Rights in Nineteenth-Century America, "[A] searching, consistently engaging, and revealing examination of a topic central to American cultural and religious history. And what it ends up revealing includes not only key shifts in attitudes toward life, death, and mourning, but also the evolving yet persistently material base of Protestant spirituality and practice. As such, Seeman's volume deserves the strong scholarly validation it has already received,"-- Church History and Religious Culture, "[A] searching, consistently engaging, and revealing examination of a topic central to American cultural and religious history. And what it ends up revealing includes not only key shifts in attitudes toward life, death, and mourning, but also the evolving yet persistently material base of Protestant spirituality and practice. As such, Seeman's volume deserves the strong scholarly validation it has already received."-- Church History and Religious Culture, Seeman has produced a profound work on the centrality of communing with the dead in Protestant America before the advent of séance Spiritualism. The emphasis on material culture for understanding religion is particularly important, and the text includes fascinating accounts of noisome ghosts and devoted mourners. Readers are given not only a book about communicating with the dead, but a window into the social and cultural changes that occurred over roughly three centuries of American life., Speaking with the Dead in Early America is a bold and provocative new reading of the Protestant relationship with the dead. Colonial and nineteenth-century Protestants spoke with and for the dead in a variety of cultural and material ways, and one of the signal achievements of this deeply researched and wide-ranging book is Seeman's creative use of unconventional sources: talking gravestones, mourning jewelry, women's needlework, spirit photographs, elegiac poetry, rural cemeteries, Shaker visions, Mormon baptisms for the dead-all are enlisted to convey the true depth of early Americans' love affair with the dead. Seeman is an expert storyteller, and in his hands (as in the minds and hearts of his subjects) the dead come to life again., " Speaking with the Dead in Early America is a bold and provocative new reading of the Protestant relationship with the dead.

Seeman is an expert storyteller, and in his hands (as in the minds and hearts of his subjects) the dead come to life again."--Susan Juster, author of Sacred Violence in Early America, Seeman breaks with the historical narrative which describes spiritualism as a singular event that began in the 1850s, and sheds light on underlying developments that have hitherto been overlooked...Based on a vast collection of primary sources, Seeman provides new impulses for the field of American religious and cultural history and also makes an important contribution to the study of material religion., [A] searching, consistently engaging, and revealing examination of a topic central to American cultural and religious history. And what it ends up revealing includes not only key shifts in attitudes toward life, death, and mourning, but also the evolving yet persistently material base of Protestant spirituality and practice.

The resulting book is deeply researched, compellingly written, and entirely persuasive."--Douglas L. Winiarski, University of Richmond, In Speaking with the Dead in Early America , Erik Seeman puts forward a convincing case that early American Protestants had established practices of communicating with the dead, long before the rise of Spiritualism in the mid-nineteenth century...Seeman's comprehensive book should prod historians to take a closer look at how early Americans communicated with the dead. Rather than skip ahead to the middle of the nineteenth century and the rise of Spiritualism and séances as the starting point for studying American interest in the dead, Seeman demonstrates through extensive evidence and details that seventeenth- and eighteenth-century colonists (particularly in the North) spent considerable time and effort in making connections with those who had died.
