Description

Crowley, Aleister: Tannhäuser: A Story of All Time, new edition, blue cloth bound with gilt lettering to front board, Boleskine, Foyers, Inverness: Society for the Propagation of Religious Truth, 1907

Note: Edward Alexander Crowley (1875-1947), known by his adopted name Aleister Crowley, was an English occultist, philosopher, novelist, and the founder and self-identified prophet of the religion of Thelema. Crowley rejected his fundamentalist Christian Plymouth Brethren upbringing to pursue an interest in Western esotericism, and trained in ceremonial magic under Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers and Allan Bennett. 'Tannhäuser' was originally published by Kegan Paul et. al. in 1902. By repute, Crowley composed the entire book in one uninterrupted 67-hour-long writing session.
