Dowden's spirit-communications were published by various authors. She wrote ''Voices from the Void'' (1919), an account of her life as a medium, and ''Psychic Messages from Oscar Wilde'' (1923). Dowden was the daughter of the Irish literary scholar Edward Dowden. She used both her maiden name and her married name Hester Travers Smith.〔Helen Sword, ''Ghostwriting Modernism'', Cornell University Press, Ithaca, NY., 2002, pp. 13.〕 Her husband was a prominent Dublin physician. Dowden was closely linked to the Irish literary world through her father, knowing, among others W.B. Yeats and Bram Stoker. She was probably the model for the medium in Yeats's play, ''The Words upon the Window Pane''. Her daughter married the playwright Lennox Robinson.〔 Though she wrote only two books under her own name, her spirit-communications provided the basis for approximately twelve books published by other authors.〔Her first book was published as "Hester Travers Smith", but she was generally later known as Dowden. See Hester Dowden,''Gale Encyclopedia of Occultism and Parapsychology''.〕 ==Early life== Dowden had intended to become a musician. In 1891 she moved to London to study music, but was forced to travel back to Dublin to look after her father when her mother died. When her father remarried in 1895, Dowden clashed with his new wife. Within a few months she had moved out of the house to marry Dr. Travers Smith. The marriage was not a success. The couple eventually separated and were divorced in 1916. Dowden moved back to London, becoming a professional medium in 1921.〔 Murphy, Andrew, "Amateurs and Professionals: Regendering Bacon" in Edmondson, P. & Wells, S.
