Violet Tweedale

Born in 1862 and dying in 1936, Violet Tweedale was a British author remembered for fiction, memoir, and writing shaped by her strong interest in spiritualism and psychic phenomena.

She moved in well-connected social circles and wrote about both fashionable society and the unseen world that fascinated her. That blend gives her work a distinctive tone: part late Victorian and Edwardian social record, part supernatural exploration.

Today she is most often noticed by readers interested in occult fiction, women writers of the period, and early paranormal literature. Her career offers a vivid glimpse of a time when séances, ghostly experiences, and literary culture often overlapped.
