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.

Best known for his focus on the intuitive force within, Emanuel
Swedenborg (1688-1772) also anticipated major modern discoveries in
mineralogy, psychology, and anatomy. In this succinct and readable
collection, Stanley expertly brings the most significant writings
from Swedenborg's oeuvre together, showing readers a man who
created a hieroglyphic language, reimagined the Genesis story,
influenced Blake, Balzac, Strindberg, and Yeats, and authored a
number of anonymous works that put the Swedish clergy of his day on
high alert. This is the fourth title in the "Western Esoteric
Masters Series" from North Atlantic Books.
