People from the Other World, Henry S. Olcott, 1875 American Publishing Company, Hartford, Conn PRICE 400.00 PURCHASE / MORE INFO View Member Profile People from the Other World, Henry S. Olcott American Publishing Company, Hartford, Conn, 1875, First Edition, hardcover An especially beautiful three-quarter binding with brown leather and marbled paper sides. Banded spine with gilt titles. Beautiful red, blue, white and gold intricately marbled endpapers Henry Steel Olcott 1832-1907 was a Buddhist occultist and a co-founder of the Theosophical Society. Olcott had been interested in Spiritualism, and in 1874 he became aware of the seances of the Eddy Brothers of Chittenden, Vermont. His interest aroused, Olcott wrote an article for the New York Sun, in which he investigated Eddy Farms. His article was popular enough that other papers, such as the New York Daily Graphic, republished it. His 1874 publication People from the Other World began with his early articles concerning the Spiritualist movement. Part 1 of this work is a careful account of Olcott's 1874 investigations into the famous Eddy brothers of Chittenden, Vermont, and their claimed psychic powers. Part 2 is a report into two Philadelphia mediums who claimed to be able to call up two spirits called John and Katie King. The account includes descriptions of seances, healings, levitation, teleportation and the famous Compton transfiguration. Also, in 1874, Olcott met Helena Blavatsky while both were visiting the Eddy farm. His foundational interest in the Spiritualist movement and his budding relationship with Blavatsky helped foster his development of spiritual philosophy. People from the Other World offers an important insight into the nineteenth-century fascination with the occult and is a classic example of a Victorian attempt to approach the supernatural with the rigors of scientific investigation. Condition: Wear to all board edges and corners. Gilt titles show light scuffing and nicks but still has a lovely glow. The hinges and binding are strong and firm. The binding is square and solid.

Description: Collection of 21 books from the library of writer Erica Jong (née Mann), twelve with her ownership signature, eight with presentation inscriptions or letters to Jong, and one with a presentation inscription by Jong. Notably, includes two letters from women poets reflecting on the personal impact of Jong’s novel “Fear of Flying.” The collection suggests the influence of Jong's groundbreaking treatment of women and sexuality on contemporary authors, as well as the development of Jong's own work as a poet and novelist. Mix of hardcover and paperback books, from various publishers, published between 1956 and 2013, including some first editions. The signatures and inscriptions are dated 1961-2013 and provide insight into what Jong was reading at different points in her career, including her time as an undergraduate student at Barnard and the period of time surrounding the publication of her first book of poetry "Fruits & Vegetables" (1971) and her first novel "Fear of Flying" (1973). Many of the books are poetry titles; poets represented include William Empson, Dylan Thomas, Alan Dugan, Edward Field, Ron Loewinsohn, Elaine Feinstein, Osip Mandelstam, Gertrud Kolmar, Lord Byron, and others. The volume of collected poems by Dylan Thomas is heavily annotated by Jong. Also included are books inscribed to Jong by Suzanne Massie, a scholar of Russian history who played an important role in ending the Cold War; Howard Moss, long-time poetry editor of "The New Yorker"; Dante Maffia, celebrated Italian poet; and others. In addition, the collection includes a book of Irina Ratushinskaya's poetry, sent to Jong by Andrew Nurnberg, literary agent, with a note by him about scheduling a meeting between Jong and Ratushinskaya.

Erica Jong, who has published 25 books over five decades, is best known for her debut novel "Fear of Flying" (1973) and its frank depictions of women's sexuality and feminism. In addition to her novels, Jong has published eight volumes of poetry. With a number of poetry titles, this collection lends particular insight into her development as a poet. For more than 40 years (1976-2020), Jong had a home in Weston, Connecticut that served as her “writing sanctuary.” These books are from her personal home library. Upon the sale of the home, the books were donated to a local library, from which they were purchased.
