Abstract
The subject of this investigation is the writings and activities of Jane Lead (1624–1704), the later seventeenth-century leader of the Philadelphian Society. Her voluminous writings had a considerable influence in northern Europe into the eighteenth century, and she was repub-lished during the nineteenth century, down to the beginning of the last century, and indeed in our own time. She is regarded by some as the true originator of enlightenment mysticism, more usually associated with Emanuel Swedenborg.1KeywordsEighteenth CenturyTrue OriginatorWoman WriterParadise LostIntellectual CultureThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
