Reviews"Sutin's perceptive study restores this controversial figure to his proper place in the history of modern spirituality." -- Publishers Weekly (Starred review) "A rich narrative . . . This is certainly the biography against which to measure the lurid claims and devout counterclaims prompted by the Crowley legend." -- Kirkus Reviews "Sutin wonderfully details the eccentricities of this puzzling man . . . The result is a fascinating, easily readable narrative about one of the most interesting cultural phenomena of the late Victorian period." -- Library Journal "The definitive biography . . .

Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisAleister Crowley was a blustery coward, an arrogant, misogynistic racist with fascist leanings, and a callous user, as often threatened by his sexuality as he claimed to be liberated by it. But he was also a groundbreaking poet and an iconoclastic visionary whose literary and cultural legacies extend far beyond the limits of his reputation. This controversial individual, a frightening mixture of egomania and self-loathing, has inspired passionate--but seldom fair--assesments by historians. Sutin, by treating Crowley as a cultural phenomenon, and not simply a sorcerer or a charlatan, convinces skeptic readers that the self-styled "Beast" remains a fascinating study in eccentricity., Aleister Crowley was a blustery coward, an,arrogant, misogynistic racist with fascist,leanings, as often threatened by his own sexuality,as he claimed to be liberated by it.
