The rise of secret societies in the 18th century and the proliferation of alternative religious movements in the 19th prepared the way for an explosion of new religious thinking at the turn of the 20th century. In many ways, it all starts with the English politician, novelist, and occultist Lord Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803–1873).
A hereditary peer and a reformist member of Parliament, Bulwer was an ally of legendary Prime Minister Benjamin D’Israeli. He represented Hertfordshire, former British headquarters of the Knights Templar.
