First published in 1990, this book represents the first full-length
study of into the group of novels designated 'Rosicrucian' and
traces the emergence of this distinct fictional genre, revealing a
continuous occult tradition running through seemingly diverse
literary texts. Taking the Enlightenment as a starting point, the
author shows how the physician's secular appropriation of the idea
of eternal life, through the study of longevity and physical decay,
attracted writers like William Godwin. It focuses on the bodily
immortality of the Rosicrucian hero and investigates the novels of
five major writers - Godwin, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Shelley,
Maturin, and Bulwer-Lytton.
