Ralph Shirley, 30 Dec 1865-Dec 19 1946
Leading British pioneer in the publication of occult and mystical literature. He was educated at Winchester and New College, Oxford University. For more than three decades (1892-1925) he was director of William Rider & Son, the foremost British publishers of literature dealing with occultism, mysticism, New Thought, astrology, psychical research, and related subjects. Rider's authors included Éliphas Lévi, Arthur Edward Waite, Hereward Carrington, and Franz Hartmann in addition to many others who became legendary in the field. In 1905, Shirley founded the Occult Review, which he edited for 21 years. It included contributions from the leading occultists of the time and set a high standard of both popular and scholarly occultism. Shirley also became vice president of the International Institute for Psychic Investigation, for whom he edited Ernesto Bozzano 's important study Discarnate Influence in Human Life (1938).Shirley had a special interest in astrology and had edited The Horoscope (under the pseudonym Rollo Ireton). From 1943 to 1944 he was chairman of the Spiritualist journal Light, but suffered from failing health and was obliged to retire. He also published a pamphlet The Angel Warriors at Mons (1915) reviewing the legends that accumulated around Arthur Machen 's famous short story The Bowmen. He died December 29, 1946.
