"At the Court of Rudolph the second, John Dee and Cornelius Drebel create a device to realise the vision of Hermes Trismegistus to make Humankind dwellers in supercellestial realms, privy to divine knowledge, consorting with Angels in a Universal Empire of Hermetic Wisdom. The unseen effects of this resonate down the centuries in a multitude of settings. The tortured architectural demonologies and enchanted thickets of Gothic nightmare that are the streets of Prague - The formal Thameside gardens of Elizabeth the first's Court - a London in the freezing grip of Polar Demons - The ice-storm lashed shores of the Baltic - The Steppes of Russia - The dazzling Court of the Tsar - The treasure filled temple of magic that lies beneath a Cathedral of St Petersburg - A house of cabalistic secrets owned by the Ba'al Shem of Wapping." Includes journal notes and other ephemera. Most impressive . . . in every way.
