G.R.S. Mead
(1863 - 1933)
G
eorge Robert Stowe Mead (1863–1933) was an author, editor, translator, esotericist, and an influential member of the Theosophical Society.
He was born in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England into a military family, and educated at The King's School, Rochester and St John's College, Cambridge.
Mead became a member of Blavatsky's Theosophical Society in 1884. He abandoned his teaching profession in 1889 to be Blavatsky's private secretary, which he was until her death in 1891. During this time, he was also an assistant editor to her monthy magazine, Lucifer, which was the vehicle for her society, but principally herself. When he finally took over as its editor, he renamed it The Theosophical Review.
Some time between 1895 and 1901 he married another prominent Theosophist, Laura Cooper, sister of Theosophist Isabel Cooper-Oakley.
