| Ad for Svengali (1954) |
The Wellcome Trust's online presentation
Mindcraft: A Century of Madness, Murder, and Mental Healing includes the
evil power of mesmerism such as that exhibited by Svengali in George du Maurier's
Trilby (1894) and the 1889 trial of Gabrielle Bompard, who asserted that her male associate had hypnotized her and that she had no memory of committing murder.
