With the exception of German-speaking countries, the longest time Steiner spent abroad was in Britain, a place he clearly considered as central to his work. In this extraordinarily thorough study of over 1,200 pages and dozens of illustrations, Crispian Villeneuve documents these important visits, reproducing letters, articles, records and other archival material - much of it published for the first time. He also studies the interconnected theme of the life and work of D.N. Dunlop, Rudolf Steiner's closest British colleague. Rudolf Steiner in Britain has special significance for English-speaking peoples around the world, as well as for those seeking to understand how and why Steiner disseminated his spiritual world-view. Villeneuve's two-volume opus, the fruit of a decade of research, is finally available in a paperback edition.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49732495147281,"sku":"NGR9781906999032","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1906999031.jpg?v=1750804026"},{"product_id":"rudolf-steiner-the-british-connection-book-crispian-villeneuve-9781906999292","title":"Rudolf Steiner: The British Connection","description":"Following his major work on Rudolf Steiner's ten visits to Britain, Crispian Villeneuve studies Steiner's relationship to the British Isles in the 40 or so years before those visits took place. The theme of Steiner's early connection to British culture leads inevitably to the broader topic of his relationship to modern science. This in turn highlights the polarity and tension between the Goethean philosophic view that arises from Middle Europe, and the 'Baconian' perspective emanating from Western Europe. Interweaving these contrasting Baconian and Goethean world-views, Villeneuve presents numerous primary texts - often culled from obscure sources, and many previously unavailable in English translation - with commentary relating to Rudolf Steiner and the nineteenth century. We learn about Steiner's teachers, Karl Julius Schroer and Edmund Reitlinger, as well as English polymath William Whewell. The latter figure was perhaps the greatest admirer of Francis Bacon in recorded history, but maintained manifold connections to Middle Europe. Rudolf Steiner: The British Connection offers genuinely new and valuable research into the early life and thought of one of the greatest cultural innovators of our time.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49734723666193,"sku":"NGR9781906999292","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1906999295.jpg?v=1751441596"},{"product_id":"rudolf-steiner-in-britain-book-crispian-villeneuve-9781902636573","title":"Rudolf Steiner in Britain","description":"Rudolf Steiner, founder of Anthroposophy, visited Britain ten times, spending some five months of his life there. Apart from other German-speaking countries, Steiner spent his longest time abroad in Britain, and considered his work there as central to his core impulse of developing and disseminating a science of spirit. In an extraordinarily thorough work of over 1,200 pages and dozens of illustrations, Crispian Villeneuve documents these crucial visits, which took place between the years 1902 and 1924, reproducing important letters, articles, records and other archival material - much of it published for the first time - both in relation to the visits themselves and also to the interconnected theme of the life and writings of D.N. Dunlop. The book, which gives a vibrant picture of Steiner's interactions with the British, has significance for English-speaking peoples around the world as well as for all anthroposophists seeking to understand more deeply Steiner's striving to communicate his spiritual-scientific work. Villeneuve's two-volume opus, the fruit of a decade of study and research, is published in a strictly limited edition of 300 copies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53613581041937,"sku":"GOR014981343","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781902636573.jpg?v=1780327093"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-crispian-villeneuve.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
