Seances, table rapping and knocking shops
Matt Salusbury talks to Kittie Klaw about Victorian values and her interest in parapsychology.
I loved this quote from Kittie in the quoted article:
Kittie describes Gothic Horror’s enduring erotic appeal as ‘legitimised S and M,’ with ‘lots of Freudian sex and death.’ For example, ‘Dracula is the perfect hybrid of Mr Darcy and the Marquis De Sade – ideal husband and depraved sexual mentor in one’.
Totally fascinating Nia, on history as well as an interesting woman. I had no idea that those were the origins of the phrase 'knocking shop'. One never knows - that might come in very handy in this line of business! :-)
