In "Father India, Westerners Under the spell of an Ancient Culture" by Jeffery Paine, the author presents a fascinating history of the cultural influence that Indian religious culture has had on the west in the latter part of the nineteenth century, and through much of the twentieth. He focuses on some of the primary individuals who were moved to evangelize eastern thought, especially Vedanta and Hinduism. These include, but are not restricted to Helena Blavatsky, Annie Besant, (and the Theosophical Society) , Christopher Isherwood, Carl Jung, V. S. Naipaul, E. M. Forster, and many others. Native Indians who exerted strong influence, such as Sri Aurobindo, Mahatma Gandhi, Ramakrishna, Krishnamurti, and others are also discussed. It is a fascinating, cross-cultural history, delineating , as it does, the influence on spiritual and intellectual development, as well as the inspiration to literary genius, in the West.

It was published as a Harper Torchbook in "The Science Library" in 1963, It is now Out of Print. (OP) The following is excerpted from Jacques Barzun's Foreword : " To know what science is, what it does, and how it affects other manifestations of mind is a task for the man who is at once critic, historian , and philosopher, and who has also been trained in one of the sciences as well as mathematics. Professor Toulmin, who is qualified in these ways, has the added merit of being a lucid and lively writer." Said Henry E. Kyburg in "The Philosophical Review" : "This is an interesting, well-written book, and a part of its burden is a thoroughly sound and much needed antidote to temporal provincialism."

This edition was published by Harper & Row as a Harper Torchbook (# TB 1099) in its Academy Library Series. It has an Introduction by Wallace K, Ferguson. This is the 1963 First Torchbook Edition, which is also the First Paperback Edition. The following is excerpted from the Introduction by Mr. Ferguson : " 'Sociology of the Renaissance' is interesting, not only as a unique attempt to place the evolution of the dominant class of the Florentine society in relation to the whole cultural complex of the age, but, still more, because it marks the culmination of a definite stage in the socio-economic historiography devoted to the Renaissance during the opening decades of the Twentieth Century. As in his earlier studies, von Martin was endeavoring to discover and define the spirit or essence of the Renaissance. But now the 'ideal type' he placed in the foreground of his study was no longer the humanist, but rather the capitalist 'haute bourgeois' who represented the economically, politically, and culturally dominant class of the Renaissance, particularly as it existed in Florence, the 'bourgeois metropolis' which he regarded as most typical of the culture of the age ."
