It is hard to overestimate the importance of the contribution made
by Dame Frances Yates to the serious study of esotericism and the
occult sciences. To her work can be attributed the contemporary
understanding of the occult origins of much of Western scientific
thinking, indeed of Western civilization itself. The Occult
Philosophy of the Elizabethan Age was her last book, and in it she
condensed many aspects of her wide learning to present a clear,
penetrating, and, above all, accessible survey of the occult
movements of the Renaissance, highlighting the work of John Dee,
Giordano Bruno, and other key esoteric figures. The book is
invaluable in illuminating the relationship between occultism and
Renaissance thought, which in turn had a profound impact on the
rise of science in the seventeenth century. Stunningly written and
highly engaging, Yates' masterpiece is a must-read for anyone
interested in the occult tradition.
