Isis Very Much Unveiled

About this book

The claims surrounding H. P. Blavatsky had fascinated supporters of Theosophy and provoked sharp criticism. Edmund Garrett enters the dispute with a journalist's interest in the people, documents and contradictions behind the movement.

Isis Very Much Unveiled is a sceptical investigation and a pointed piece of contemporary controversy. The title deliberately echoes Blavatsky's Isis Unveiled. Its arguments should be read alongside the movement's own accounts, but the book preserves the intensity of a public quarrel over occult authority and credibility.
