Summary
Atlantography is the first book to chart the fascinating cultural history of Atlantis from its origin in Plato’s dialogues to its strange and compelling rebirths in pop culture, occultism, and fantasy. Rather than treating Atlantis as either hoax or truth, Sian Ingham takes the myth on its own imaginative terms, showing how different generations have used the legend to reflect their hopes, fears, and obsessions.

Critics Review
“Those who know Sian’s previous work, writing under this name or another, will know that their insight, knowledge and level of detailed research is meticulous. Thus, they won’t be disappointed with Atlantis as this is Sian dialed up to 11! For those coming to the author for the first time, you are in for a knowledge dump like no other. Whatever you knew about Atlantis, this book will show you that you only scratched its surface before it disappeared forever below the waves.”
–Mark Norman, author of Hallowed Ground: The Folklore of Churches and Churchyards and the host of The Folklore Podcast
“Sian’s casual, almost playful prose belies the scale of the tapestry they weave. From the shaping of modern theosophical culture to the nomenclature of Bovril, Atlantis haunts the modern world in ways very few people comprehend. Sian is one of those people. A marvelous book.”
–Jon Dear, TV and film historian
“A fantastic and inimitable exploration of Atlantis from one of my very favorite modern scholars. This isn’t like anything you’ve read before, so put it on your reading pile as soon as you can.”
–Gwendolyn Kiste, Bram Stoker award winning author
