Francis Clive-Ross : ウィキペディア英語版 | Francis Clive-Ross Francis Fabian Clive-Ross (1921–1981) was a publisher and author whose works focused on occultism, comparative religion, and the Traditionalist School. Clive-Ross was also a Trustee of the World of Islam Festival (held in London in 1976), as well as a justice of the peace. ==Publishing== Clive-Ross was the proprietor for many years of the ''Aquarian Book Service'', established at Pates Manor. He relinquished his interest in ''Aquarian Press'' around 1966. Soon after the London Spiritualist Alliance was reorganized as the College of Psychic Science in 1955, Clive-Ross became editor of the long-established Spiritualist journal ''Light''. Under his editorship, the journal expanded its scope to include articles on occultism, comparative religion, and parapsychology, some of them highly critical and skeptical. Readers demanded that the journal revert to its former role as a Spiritualist publication. Clive-Ross pointed out that he had accepted editorship on the condition that ''Light'' be an independent journal. Subsequently, he resigned and Dr. V. F. Underwood took over.〔(Francis Fabian Clive-Ross )〕 Clive-Ross formed ''Perennial Books'' to specialize in metaphysics, philosophy, and religion. He retained a critical faculty in dealing with occult subjects, believing that there is a good deal of fraud or self-deception in Spiritualism and psychical research.〔 Clive-Ross was the founder, editor-in-chief and publisher of ''Studies in Comparative Religion''; the earliest English-language journal of traditional studies, founded in Britain in 1963 and continuing until its publication was interrupted in 1987. The journal focused on the spiritual practices and religious symbolism of the world's religions. The journal was notable for the number of prominent Perennialists who contributed to it.
