The Lost Land of Lemuria (new book from U. of California Press)

Hey,

I learned of this one via amazon because it cites me on Cayce, but 
it turns out to have much more about HPB, devoting 16 pages to 
the "Theosophical Lemuria." Final para of that section:

Theosophy's innovation lay in bringing occult technologies of 
clairvoyance and communication with other-worldly beings-- abilities 
that were lost with the onset of disenchanted modernity-- to bear 
upon the cosmic history of the vanished worlds of the earth's past, 
a history that had hitherto been told only from incomplete and mute 
material remains. That this innovation was to prove very productive 
is clear when we turn to the other twentieth century adventures of 
Lemuria in the occult imaginary.(p. 71)
