Occultism: The Occult Sciences and the Occult Revival

The Occult Underground

by James Webb

A pioneering history of nineteenth-century occultism, first published in Britain as The Flight from Reason (1971). Webb follows spiritualists, Theosophists, French occultists and magical orders and interprets their rise as a reaction against rationalism and modern society.
