    Dudley Wright

    Dudley Wright (1868-1950) was an English writer, historian, occultist, Mason, and scholar of Islam. At one point the editor of England’s most influential Masonic newspaper, The Freemason, Wright dedicated his career to the study of religious, theosophical, and esoteric traditions, and was the author of dozens of books and hundreds of articles on such wide-ranging topics as Buddhism, Judaism, poltergeists, and the life of Jesus.
