| Abstract | "Friendship in Doubt explores the influence of the British Agnostic movement-from Saladin's Agnostic Journal and Foote's Freethinker, to the Rationalist Press Association and its Literary Guide-on three founders of the twentieth-century new religious movement of Thelema. Agnosticism introduced occultist Aleister Crowley, soldier J. F. C. Fuller, and poet Victor Neuburg to each other, and would inform Crowley's publishing company S.P.R.T. A,A, a successor to the fragmented Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn; the Equinox journal; and the concept of "magick" as Scientific Illuminism. Crowley, Fuller and Neuburg's essays and poems from the Agnostic literature, reprinted here for the first time, illuminate their thinking at the start of their careers, and provides a baseline from which to understand the subsequent trajectories of their lives"-- Provided by publisher. |
