The essays in this volume testify to the far-reaching effects of
Emanuel Swedenborg's works in Western culture. From his early days
as an ambitious young scientist in the ferment of the
eighteenth-century Enlightenment Europe, through his mid-life
entrance into an ongoing experience of the spiritual world, to his
last decades as a researcher of things spiritual, Swedenborg built
a career that left a unique legacy. His vivid descriptions of the
nonphysical realm made a powerful impression on minds as diverse as
Goethe, Blake, Emerson, Yeats, and Borges.
This book serves as a self-contained resource on Swedenborg's
life and thought and as a gateway into further exploration of the
labyrinthine garden of Swedenborg's works. It includes a biography,
rich in fascinating detail; lively overviews of the content and
history of Swedenborg's writings on spiritual topics; and essays
tracing Swedenborg's impact in various regions of the world.
