Review # 1 was written on 2016-01-16 00:00:00 Justin Kaiser I was hoping this would be some sort of scholarly/psychological discussion on supernatural elements in Shakespeare. Sadly, this is little more than a shoddily written propaganda piece for a theosophical society. So that you don't waste your time, let me summarize it for you: "Within the plays where supernatural elements occur [insert massive quotes and plot summaries of plays that take up at least 80% of the book] they are clearly portrayed as being real, not just the figments of characters' imaginations. Therefore Shakespeare regarded these occult phenomena as true to life and real just like we do. Shakespeare is a genius so you wouldn't disagree with him would you?" Q.E.D.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-08-24 00:00:00 David Esfandi A sort of supplement to "New Revelation". Doyle's overview of and argumentation for what he calls modern Spiritualism, concluding with some particular case studies and, before them, a Spirtualistic method of interpreting the Christian gospels. Interesting to those who are willing to consider the possibility that "nature" is not wholly materialistic.
