STEWART, C. Nelson. Bulwer Lytton as Occultist.

(London): The Theosophical Publishing House, 1927.  First edition.  Hardcover.  18.4cm by 12.4cm.  64 pages. Frontis portrait of Lord Lytton in his study. Scarce volume that explores the life and works of the 19th-century British writer Edward Bulwer-Lytton, focusing specifically on his involvement with the occult and mystical themes. The book delves into Bulwer-Lytton’s literary works, such as Zanoni and The Coming Race, which feature significant occult and esoteric content. Stewart examines how these themes reflect the author’s personal beliefs and his interest in the supernatural, spiritualism, and the deeper mysteries of existence. A very good copy of this fragile item.  Some wear at head and tail of spine. Booksellers stamp to front pastedown.
