About this title

Synopsis

When Aleister Crowley was in America during the First World War he was rather destitute and needed gainful employment, having squandered his inherited fortune some years previously. He started writing articles for various magazines, one of them being Vanity Fair; another, which we have already published, was The International.
Having met its editor, Frank Crowninshield, who he got on very well with, he offered to contribute to his magazine, and did so for the next couple of years, before concentrating on writing for, and later editing, The International.
Presented here for the first time are all the contributions Crowley made to Vanity Fair, between 1915 and 1917, discussing various subjects—not necessarily magick, which only gets a brief mention—along with some extra material which should prove of useful interest to anyone intrigued by this much maligned writer.
A brief introduction has been provided by the editor, Jon Lange, who has been studying the works of Crowley for many years. It also includes some helpful footnotes to clarify certain tentative points.
