Autor

William Scott-Elliot (sometimes written Scott-Elliott) was a theosophist and esoteric author whose works contributed significantly to the mystical and occult landscapes at the turn of the 20th century. Notably, he is known for his elaborations on theosophical teachings, particularly regarding lost civilizations. His book 'The Lost Lemuria' (1904), which is sometimes bundled with 'The Story of Atlantis' (1896), delves into the speculative continent of Lemuria, a hypothesized landmass said to have sunk in the Indian or Pacific Ocean. In this work, Scott-Elliot heavily relied on clairvoyant investigations, especially the seer-abilities of Madame Blavatsky, a founder of the Theosophical Society, and her successors. Scott-Elliot's literary style is marked by an intricate blend of theosophical doctrine, vivid imagination, and pseudo-scientific commentary, which was typical of esoteric writings of the era. He has been considered an influential figure among those interested in the arcane, despite the critical perspective of mainstream science and academia towards his works. His contributions continue to be referenced by enthusiasts of theosophy, ancient mysteries, and the occult.
