Atlantography is the first book to chart the fascinating cultural history of Atlantis from its origin in Plato's dialogues to its strange and compelling rebirths in pop culture, occultism, and fantasy. Rather than treating Atlantis as either hoax or truth, Sian Ingham takes the myth on its own imaginative terms, showing how different generations have used the legend to reflect their hopes, fears, and obsessions. Whether in spiritualism, pulp fiction, or British esoteric orders, Atlantography is an engaging look at how Atlantis has been reimagined over the centuries. You'll meet figures like Edgar Cayce, Dion Fortune, and even a psychic channeler who claimed contact with an Atlantean priest-king for over sixty years. Atlantography is essential reading for lovers of myth, the occult, and the weirder corners of history. Join Ingham on a journey through the brilliant and bizarre!.
