लेखक: Violet Tweedale

Violet Tweedale (1862–1936) was a prolific British author and poet, recognized for her contributions to the spiritualism movement and psychic research in the early 20th century. Born into a cultured family and married to the renowned golfer and writer Robert Tweedale, she penned numerous works that delve into the paranormal and theosophy. A notable title in her oeuvre, “Ghosts I Have Seen, and Other Psychic Experiences” (1919), is a reflection of her lifelong interest in supernatural phenomena and her own claimed clairvoyant abilities. In this memoir-esque collection, Tweedale recounts her personal encounters with the spectral and the unexplained, providing readers with vivid narratives that intertwine the ethereal with the everyday. Her literary style often mirrors the sensibilities of her upper-middle-class background, with a flourish of Edwardian elegance and a touch of gothic charm, frequently appealing to those curious about the afterlife and the existence of spirits. As a woman writer in a then male-dominated field of paranormal research, Tweedale”s work stands as a testament to her unique perspective and contributions to the genre. Her writing not only offered insights into spiritual beliefs but also reflected broader cultural fascinations of the period with the occult and mysticism. Her legacy endures as a significant, if niche, figure in the history of supernatural literature.
