The first lecture in a series on "Landmarks of Esoteric Literature", Manly P. Hall introduces Francis Bacon's "The New Atlantis" in the context of other Utopian classics such as Thomas More's "Utopia" and Plato's "Republic". Recorded on April 18, 1962 in Los Angeles.
Sir Francis Bacon is an interesting figure of history, with mysterious connections to William Shakespeare and the King James translation of the Holy Bible. Manly Hall often mentions Bacon in his lectures, and has featured him in many books, including his magus opus, "The Secret Teachings of All Ages".
