Deja Whitehouse: The Lady and the Beast, Gebunden

Klappentext

Although Lady Harris is acknowledged as the artist of Aleister Crowley's Book of Thoth , to date, most studies have focused predominantly on Harris's role as Crowley's 'artist executant'. Whitehouse argues that Harris's involvement extended far beyond the artwork itself. The Book of Thothwas a collaboration in which each partner fulfilled a variety of roles; building on Crowley's magical theories and practices, and Harris's artistic skills and social awareness that enabled her to promote and exhibit their work as it evolved. The author presents a study of Harris's life and works, seeking to assess her true contribution to Western Esotericism.
