Autorenporträt
J.W. Brodie-Innes (1848-1923) was a figure of some intrigue at the turn of the 20th century, known for his engagement with the esoteric and the occult as much as for his literary work. His novel, 'Morag the Seal', is one of the few texts that reflect his narrative capabilities, blending Scottish folklore with an engaging storytelling style. Brodie-Innes was deeply entrenched in the doctrines of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, an organization that profoundly influenced his worldview and possibly his writing. While 'Morag the Seal' does not directly engage with esoteric themes, one might speculate that his knowledge of the mystical informed the mythologically rich atmosphere of the work. His prose tends to be dense yet evocative, capturing the Scottish landscape's ethereal quality and the superstitions that underlie the narrative. The novel can be categorized as part of the Scottish literary tradition that often invokes the supernatural and myth. Despite the scarcity of his literary outputs, Brodie-Innes remains a compelling figure due to his multi-faceted interests, which extended beyond the purely literary, painting a portrait of a man deeply immersed in the cultural tapestries of his time.
