Autorenporträt

William Scott-Elliot (sometimes written Scott-Elliott) was a theosophist and author of speculative fiction during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His most notable work is 'The Story of Atlantis' (1896), a book that delves into the mythos of the lost continent of Atlantis. In it, Scott-Elliot presents a detailed narrative of the Atlantean civilization, drawing upon the theosophical teachings of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, particularly those in her seminal work 'The Secret Doctrine' which influenced much of the esoteric and occult literature at the time. Scott-Elliot's books on Atlantis and lost civilizations are characterized by their intricate blending of mysticism, historical speculation, and occult philosophy. His literary style is marked by a scholarly tone laced with a visionary and at times extravagant imagination. The contributions of Scott-Elliot are often regarded as part of the broader movement of esotericism and theosophy that shaped much of the spiritual and pseudoscientific discourse of the era. Although his writings on Atlantis are not considered factual by mainstream historical and archaeological standards, they maintain a cult following among enthusiasts of theosophy and alternative history. Scott-Elliot's work on Atlantis was later expanded in his book 'The Lost Lemuria' (1904), wherein he explored similar themes of ancient lost worlds.
