Synopsis:
The New Age is not so new. Peter Washington traves its roots to just before the dawn of the 20th. Century, when a mysterious renegade Russian aristocrat named Madame Blavatsky appeared in America claiming that Darwin was wrong, that man was descended not from apes but from spirit beings. Theosophy, the movement she founded spawned competing gurus and sects that had particular appeal to women, to influential intellects, charlatans and lost souls. Well researched, thought provoking and often hilarious this book provides an interesting perspective on the hopes and fears of our own day as well as those of a century ago.
