There Is No Death

In 1874, Florence interviewed for a London newspaper a prominent clairvoyant. This marked the beginning of her belief in spiritualism. She participated in countless seances and claimed having communicated with her two dead daughters and her brother who died in a shipwreck. She wrote down her experiences in a highly successful non-fiction book, There Is No Death, and the sequel The Spirit World. Spiritualism also influenced her works of fiction in such novels as The Clairvoyance of Bessie Williams or The Strange Transfiguration of Hannah Stubbs.

There Is No Death by Florence Marryat, author Of “Love’s Conflict,” “Veronique,” Etc., Etc.
“There is no Death--what seems so is transition.
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the Life Elysian
Whose portal we call----Death.”--Longfellow.
