The Theosophical Movement in France (1876-1921)

  The historian, Marie-José Delalande, attempts to give an objective account of the history of the Theosophical movement; a subject often tackled either by its detractors or by its adepts. She returns to the important events of the 19th and 20th century that saw the birth of the Theosophical Society – founded in New York 1875 by Henry Olcott and Helena Blavatsky. These include the explosion of ideas it generated and its spiritualist reviews.
