How many modern works of fiction have an impact like this? The closest thing I can come up with is Star Wars, where people declare their religion as Jedi and seem to have some belief in the Force. Maybe in 100 years some historian will have forgotten that it was a joke and declare that people actually believed that Star Wars was a true story from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…

If I ever run across the original text I will try to repost it here — but even if I could find it, I doubt that professional scholars would put much stock in a hearsay account.

Dedicated historians have written weighty book on related subjects:

Bulwer Lytton’s Research In Psychism And Clairvoyance And His Relationship With Eliphas Levi
