Description
This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading. Atlantis has fascinated scholars and occultists for centuries since Plato wrote about the sunken city in Timaeus and Critias. Whether Plato was presenting Atlantis as factual history or merely as a philosophical device, Lewis Spence's The History of Atlantis has ensured that the fascination with Plato's story has continued to the present day. Spence, despite his reputation as a scholar of mythology and folklore, presents a history of Atlantis that is consistent with the available physical evidence.
