Madame Blavatsky: the Woman Behind the Myth
“On December 18, Hodgson had presented himself at Theosophical Headquarters and asked Damodar if he might have a look at the Occult Room and also inspect samples of Madame Blavatsky’s handwriting. Damodar replied that, in the absence of both Madame and the colonel, he had no authority to grant either request, but that he expected them back any day. Hodgson said that he would return. Chief among the Theosophists’ complaints about Richard Hodgson was his lack of experience as a psychical researche...r. However, it must be kept in mind that in 1884 virtually no researchers existed, experienced or otherwise. Ironically, Hodgson would make his reputation as a result of the Theosophical investigation and go on to become widely recognized as possibly the greatest psychical researcher of the Victorian era. At the time he met H.P.B. he was a twenty-nine-year-old university lecturer of little apparent brilliance.An Australian by birth, Hodgson had taken a doctorate in law at Melbourne University before going to England in 1878 and entering Cambridge, where he studied moral sciences.MoreLess
