This edition limited to 180 copies. “Althea Gyles (1867–1949) was a poet and artist whose illustrations adorned books by the likes of Oscar Wilde and Ernest Dowson. An acquaintance of the occultist Aleister Crowley and Yates and the lover of the “decadent” publisher Leonard Smithers, she was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn before proceeding down other paths. Pilgrimage, her only novel, was never published in her lifetime and is here presented for the first time with an introduction by Daniel Corrick. The novel, probably completed around 1919, is an odd modernist work dealing with reincarnation. Semi-autobiographical in nature, it is an important addition to the oeuvre of this highly interesting artist.” #76480
