Editorial Reviews:
“I am extremely impressed not only with the quality and power of Madame Blavatsky’s work, but also by the beauty and clarity of this biography” -Brian Weiss, M. D. “Many Lives, Many Masters”
“When this biography came out, I thought so highly of it that I bought copies for friends, and suggested that our members would find it an interesting part of the pre-history of the Institute of Noetic Science… [We] have previously acknowledged her [HPB] as an integral part of our own origins.” -Willis W. Harman, Ph. D., President Emeritus, IONS
…”[Silvia Cranston] also traces the growth of the Theosophical Society, which Blavatsky helped found in 1875 and which not only flourished in the West but also, according to Cranston, spurred the revival of Hinduism and Buddhism in the East. She describes how Blavatsky’s writings fueled the anti-vivisection movement, seemed to predict certain scientific discoveries and presaged the revival of beliefs in both reincarnation and the New Age. Though Cranston does not assess Theosophy today, she notes its influence on various writers, artists and composers, including Yeats, T. S. Eliot, Kandinsky, Gauguin and Sibelius.” –Publishers Weekly
