H. P. Blavatsky and the Theosophical Movement
By Charles J. Ryan
". . . some day, if not at once, the loftiness and purity of her aims, the
wisdom and scope of her teachings, will be recognized more fully, and her memory will be
accorded the honor to which it is justly entitled." — Editorial, New York Daily
Tribune, May 10, 1891
This well-researched portrayal of Blavatsky's life and work
also covers the years following her death on May 8, 1891, and the efforts of theosophists
to carry the movement into the twentieth century. Combining primary source material with
concise narrative, Professor Ryan has crafted a penetrating synthesis of theosophical history and philosophy which reveals the impact of
spiritual truths on humanity's thought-life.
