This book delves into the life and work of architect William
Richard Lethaby (1857-1931) and his relationship with the occult
and alchemy, in particular. Using detailed analysis of Lethaby's
drawings and architecture, the research uncovers Lethaby's
familiarity with occult concepts and ideology during the spiritual
revolution of the nineteenth century. Throughout this time,
countless individuals, particularly members of the avant-garde,
rejected more traditional religious pathways and sought answers
through experimental and mystical alternatives. William Lethaby,
Symbolism and the Occult reveals how the architect was profoundly
influenced by the Zeitgeist, which was saturated with references to
spiritualism, mysticism and the occult, and explores the impact of
occultism on his contemporaries and the wider Arts and Crafts
Movement. This book is written for upper-level students,
researchers and academics interested in architectural history,
William Lethaby and nineteenth century culture and society.
