Notes

According to the author in his Preface, this book "tells the story of Madame Blavatsky's eventful life with a special look at the 'Esoteric World' in which she lived. These reminiscences by her relatives, acquaintances, friends, co-workers and enemies give a vivid portrait of Madame Blavatsky's personality and allow the reader to enter into the historical milieu of her time."
    The narratives in this book, transcribed from the original sources, were collected by historical researcher Daniel Caldwell and arranged in chronological order to present "an intimate and astounding portrait of Madame Blavatsky's mysterious depth and new insight into her complex thought."

Daniel Caldwell also compiled and edted A Casebook of Encounters wth the Theosophical Mahatmas, published by the The Blavatsky Study Center/The Blavatsky Archives in 2020.

The cover art is based on a portrait of H.P. Blavatsky at the national center of the Theosophical Society in America, painted by Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor of Mount Rushmore.
