Medicine, Mysticism and Mythology - Malcolm Peet - Bog

Swedenborgian and homeopathic practitioner James John Garth Wilkinson (1812-99) had contacts among some fascinating and influential figures in spirituality and the arts: William Blake, Ralph Waldo Emerson, James Tyler Kent, and Andrew Jackson Davis, to name a few. Medicine, Mysticism and Mythology: Garth Wilkinson, Swedenborg and Nineteenth-Century Esoteric Culture highlights Wilkinson's forgotten influence on homeopathy and the arts as well as his involvement with history-making social movements such as utopianism, women's suffrage, environmentalism, and more. A must-have for people who want to better understand Emanuel Swedenborg's far-reaching influence in the nineteenth century.
