D. N. Dunlop, a Man of Our Time: A Biography 2 Revised edition

D. N. Dunlop (1868-1935) combined remarkable practical and organizational abilities in industry and commerce with gifted spiritual and esoteric capacities. A personal friend of W. B. Yeats and Rudolf Steiner, Dunlop was responsible for founding the World Power Conference (today the World Energy Council), and played leading roles in the Theosophical Society and later the Anthroposophical Society. In his business life he pioneered a cooperative approach toward the emerging global economy. Meyers compelling narrative of Dunlops life begins on the Isle of Arran, where the motherless boy is brought up by his grandfather. In a landscape rich with prehistoric standing stones, the young Dunlop has formative spiritual experiences. When his grandfather dies, he struggles for material survival, but devotedly studies occult literature. The scene moves to Dublin, where Dunlop becomes a friend of W. B. Yeats and the poet-seer A. E., and develops an active interest in Madame Blavatskys Theosophy. Arriving in London via New York, Dunlop is now a lecturer, writer and the editor of a monthly journal--but alongside his esoteric interests he rises to a foremost position in the British electrical industry, masterminding the first World Power Conference. This second, enlarged edition features substantial additions of new material and an afterword by Owen Barfield.
