Zusammenfassung:
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the US and UK experienced an occult revival, a flourishing 'occulture' that signalled the increasing presence of the occult in the popular imagination. This period also witnessed another major cultural development - a rapid expansion of print culture that offered a dizzying array of new magazines, pulp fiction, cheap single-volume and paperback novels, and emerging forms of genre fiction, all designed to meet (and create) the demands of a growing fiction readership. In 'Light on the Path', Mark S. Morrisson explores the surprising interdependence of these two phenomena.
