theosophy: References & Edit History

Additional Reading

The tradition that gave birth to the Theosophical Society can be fruitfully explored in Joscelyn Godwin, The Theosophical Enlightenment (1994); and Antoine Faivre, Access to Western Esotericism (1994). The history of the modern Theosophical Society and its major offshoots is covered in Bruce F. Campbell, A History of the Theosophical Movement (1980); and J. Stillson Judah, The History of the Metaphysical Movement in America (1967). The theosophical perspective is discussed in Robert Ellwood, Theosophy (1986).
