The Reverend George William Allen was an important figure in a
number of esoteric religious and cultural movements in America and
Europe. This is the first serious scholarly attempt to define the
man, his theology and philosophy and link him directly to movements
that helped determine the cultural and religious avant-garde of the
Western world from the 1880s to 1914. J.D.Lavoie's extensive
background in theology and history and his mastery of available
original documents lend his research terrific relevance in linking
intellectual currents of Victorian, Edwardian and modern esoteric
beliefs and patterns. Allen's "dream-theory", unlike Sigmund
Freud's research, emphasized the notion that ordinary reality was a
false state and that "waking up" process -a process linked to
mystical connections-was the one sure way to human self knowledge.
Allen went on to influence poets such as Yeats and Pound as well as
,at a remove, the "spitirtualism" of Nazi and fascist movements.
