A belief in the supernatural has existed in all ages and among all nations.To trace the origin of this belief, the causes of the various modifications it has undergone, and the phases it has assumed, is, perhaps, one of the most interesting researches to which the mind can be given,--interesting, inasmuch as we find pervading every part of it the effects of those passions and affections which are most powerful and permanent in our nature.

Ein Junge; sowohl gross an Herz als auch an Mut. Er tritt aus einem reinen Licht, an den Ausläufen eines Wasserfalls. Landern, es regnet Blut vom klaren Sommerhimmel. Tag, doch keine Sonne, nur der Mond, voll und Blutrot. Jemand weint, nein, viele weinen. Die Umgebung verändert sich; aus Stein wird Wasser, aus Eisen Holz. Ein Wald mit eigenartigen Schatten Etwas lauert darin, gutes als auch böses… [more]

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward (1844–1911) was an early feminist American author and intellectual who challenged traditional Christian beliefs of the afterlife, challenged women's traditional roles in marriage and family, and advocated clothing reform for women. In 1868, three years after the Civil War ended, she published The Gates Ajar, which depicted the afterlife as a place replete with the comforts of domestic life and where families would be reunited—along with family pets—through eternity. In her 40s, Phelps broke convention again when she married a man 17 years her junior. Later in life she urged women to burn their corsets. Her later writing focused on feminine ideals and women's financial dependence on men in marriage. She was the first woman to present a lecture series at Boston University. During her lifetime she was the author of 57 volumes of fiction, poetry and essays. In all of these works she challenged the prevailing view that woman's place and fulfilment resided in the home. Instead Phelps' work depicted women as succeeding in nontraditional careers as physicians, ministers, and artists. [more]
