Occultism and esotericism flourished in 19th-century France as they did nowhere else. Many philosophers sought the key to the universe, and some claimed to have found it. In the unitive vision that resulted, music invariably played an important part.

> L'ÉSOTÉRISME MUSICAL EN FRANCE 1750-1950, de Joscelyn Godwin. — Les ouvrages consacrés à l’ésotérisme musical, sont trop rares… Celui de Joscelyn Godwin comble donc une importante lacune avec l’avantage de donner tout l’ensemble des recherches effectuées en France au cours des deux siècles les plus riches en oeuvres et en spéculations musicales. Du théosophe Saint Martin au génial et trop peu connu Favre d’Olivet, en passant par le philosophe Charles Fourier et le mathématicien Hoené Wronski… l’auteur apporte une claire et solide contribution (fort bien documentée) à l’approche “savante” de la musique ; il nous aide à comprendre l’importance de l’ésotérisme musical dans notre culture occidentale, et offre virtuellement des jalons à une investigation spirituelle de la musique dont il nous reste aujourd’hui à redécouvrir les bases. Ed. Albin Michel, Bibliothèque de l'Hermétisme, 1991 - 270 p.
