Linda Dalrymple Henderson
Linda Dalrymple Henderson is the David Bruton, Jr. Centennial Professor in Art History, Emeritus, at The University of Texas at Austin. Her book project, Ether and the Energies of Modernism: Art, Science, and Occultism in the Early 20th Century recovers the long-overlooked history of science as popularly known in the late 19th and early 20th century, which served as a crucial stimulus for modern artists and writers as well as for the occultists to whom they often responded.
