This review is from: G. R. S. Mead and the Gnostic Quest (Western Esoteric Masters) (Paperback)
While this book is far from being a full blown biography of Mead, it is the closest thing we have or at least so far as this reviewer is aware. Only the first 32 pages are biographical material but the editors (the Goodrick-Clarke's) have done an excellent job of presenting a concise yet interesting overview of the life and labors of G.R.S. Mead. The remainder of the book provides commentary from the editors and selected quotes from Meads own work on a variety of esoteric and philosophical topics, the most interesting and extensive of which is (quite properly, in this reviewer's estimation) on Gnosticism. Highly recommended!

This review is from: G. R. S. Mead and the Gnostic Quest (Western Esoteric Masters) (Paperback)
This gives a good overview with selections from various of Mead's works.
The succint biographical material at the start is also good. As to G.R.S. Mead himself his esoteric beliefs seriously tainted his ability to accurately represent history. |
