Autorenporträt
Dudley Wright (1868-1950) was an English writer, historian, occultist, and scholar, with a particular interest in Freemasonry, ancient religions, and the occult. Born in Chelsea, London, Wright was an influential figure in Masonic circles, serving as the editor of The Freemason, one of England's leading Masonic newspapers. His work extended beyond Freemasonry to include studies of Islam, ancient rites, and mystical traditions. Wright authored several important works during his lifetime, including The Eleusinian Mysteries & Rites (1913), Vampires and Vampirism (1914), Robert Burns and Freemasonry (1921), The Epworth Phenomena (1917), and Druidism: The Ancient Faith. His books often combined historical analysis with an exploration of esoteric knowledge, examining topics such as the occult, ancient religious rites, and folklore. His works on vampires, in particular, contributed to the study of vampire mythology and its connections to cultural beliefs about death and immortality. Wright's interest in spiritualism, the occult, and ancient rites made him a significant figure in early 20th-century studies of mysticism and Freemasonry.
