This study draws upon unpublished diplomatic and Masonic archives to place his financial and political actitivities within their national and international contexts. It also reveals the clandestine military and Masonic links between the Swedish Hats and Charles Edward Stuart (\"Bonnie Prince Charlie\"), providing new evidence for the prince's role as hidden Grand Master of the Order of the Temple. Swedenborg's usage of Kabbalistic meditative and interpretative techniques and his association with Hermetic and Rosicrucian adepts reveal the extensive esoteric networks that underlay the exoteric politics of the supposedly \"enlightened\" eighteenth century, especially in the troubled \"Northern World\" of Sweden and Scotland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marsha Keith Schuchard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004183124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004183124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 804\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.70w x 2.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2012","brand":"Marsha Keith Schuchard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49082469613823,"sku":"9789004183124","price":384.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/emanuel-swedenborg-secret-agent-on-marsha-keith-schuchard-9789004183124","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
