Summary: "The Lords of the Ghostland: A History of the Ideal" by Edgar Saltus is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the evolution of religious thought and the concept of divinity across various cultures, particularly focusing on gods such as Brahma, Ormuzd, and Jehovah. Saltus explores how these ideals shape and transform society's understanding of existence, morality, and the divine. The opening of the book introduces the notion that the essence of poetry lies in the ideal, tracing the origins of divine figures in human experience and language. Saltus discusses the early polytheistic beliefs of various cultures, emphasizing the transformation of these gods from vague concepts into concrete deities as humanity evolved. He delves into the Hindu pantheon, particularly Brahma and the Hindu belief system, contrasting it with other religious figures like Ormuzd and Jehovah. The narrative suggests a deeper exploration of how these formative ideas influenced human consciousness and societal structures. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
