 JOHN DEEJohn Dee (1527 - 1608) is most known for his work with Edward Kelley in contacting spirits and transcribing angelic language. Smith provides a clear retelling of their famous and tempestuous relationship and lays to rest the ridiculous stories about Dee. Charlotte Smith's biography draws from Dee's private diaries and several of his important works including The Book of the Mysteries and A True and Faithful Relation, bringing to light all his truly remarkable accomplishments. As a man of great learning, he fell under the suspicion of his less-gifted contemporaries and suffered rumor and even imprisonment. But for the most part, he was quite famous in his day, serving as mathematician, astronomer, and astrologer to the royal court of England, and is arguably responsible for the very existence of the England we know today. Smith credits him for initiating the creation of England's National Library. This is the first complete biography of the 14th-century Scientist, Philosopher, and Magickian.

This is an essential book for students of the esoteric as well as engaging reading for historians. By any standard, John Dee (1527-1608) led a very remarkable life: respected in his own day as a scientist, geographer, antiquary, and Hermetic philosopher, he was also reviled as an alchemist and magician whose spiritual revelations were looked on for three hundred years as a "work of darkness." Only through the work of Charlotte Fell Smith, Dee's first true biographer, was the real story of his life told; it is a sound, sympathetic, yet objective overview of John Dee's life, set in the context of his time and place. Today he is popularly known for his work with Edward Kelley in contacting spirits and transcribing angelic language. Drawing from Dee's private diaries and important works such as Dee's Book of the Mysteries and Casaubon's True and Faithful Relation, she gives an even-handed retelling of Dee's and Kelley's tempestuous relationship and brings to light all of Dee's remarkable accomplishments. In his introduction, R. A. Gilbert, respected antiquarian and specialist in the Western Mystery Tradition, chronicles the changing views toward Dee and his work, as well as his influence on the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
