Abstract

A chronicle of the development of George Russell-AE's philosophical and theological powers is established by means of a survey of seven of his major mystical prose works between 1897 and 1933. The exploration of the profound relationship between AE's mysticism and the turbulent Irish politics of the period suggests that AE was indeed a most remarkable Hindu-type teacher in Ireland where the power of his message should still inspire followers.
