520 8  "'It is in America that the transformation will take place,
       and has already silently commenced' -- MADAME BLAVATSKY. 
       With these words, written in The Secret Doctrine in 1888, 
       Helena Blavatsky drew a direct connection to the dynamic 
       energy of nineteenth-century Americanism and the 
       Theosophical Society. She and her successors would specify
       the American West as the site for a rebirth and re-
       enchantment of humanity, drawing those seeking spiritual 
       fulfilment outside of organized religion to the dramatic 
       landscapes of California, Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico. 
       The syncretic nature of Theosophy encouraged individualism
       in belief, fitting well the popular notions of freedom and
       personal agency used to characterize the American West. In
       2014, the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum at Utah State 
       University staged the first exhibition to explore artistic
       responses to the confluence of enchanted thought in the 
       American West in the early twentieth century. Building on 
       this research, 'Enchanted Modernities: Theosophy, the Arts
       and the American West' will be the first publication 
       devoted to these relationships in art and music. Through a
       series of interlocked contextual essays, interviews, and 
       interpretations of individual works by the exhibition's 
       curators and invited scholars, this publication explores 
       the role of Theosophical thought in fostering dynamic 
       cultural networks in the region that redefine the 
       relationship between enchantment and modernism"--supplied 
       by publisher.
