Welcome to the Annie Besant Shrine, gateway to A Bibliography of Annie Besant (1847-1933): a compilation of bibliographic information for over 1400 books, pamphlets, and journal articles by the great theosophist, spiritual teacher, and social reformer. All I write is equally theosophical and religious, being directed to the evolution of the spiritual intelligence in man exerted in spiritual, intellectual, emotional and physical departments of human life; they all form part of one great movement for human progress and liberty and order. [Statement of August 10, 1917, while interned by the Madras government as politically dangerous.] While labouring chiefly in religious propaganda and educational work, I used the light of Theosophy to illuminate political questions where great principles were involved, just as they are involved now. The question of Home Rule for India is no question of party politics: it is a question of principle, of the liberation of a people from autocratic rule. [New India, April 21, 1915.]
