| Summary | "Secret Societies and Subversive Movements" by Nesta Helen Webster is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the history and influence of secret societies throughout the ages, particularly focusing on how these organizations have contributed to revolutionary movements aimed at undermining established social and moral orders. The author attempts to trace the origins and purposes of these groups, suggesting that their existence has been a significant force in shaping modern societal changes. The opening of the work sets the stage for this inquiry by grounding it in historical context, referencing notable figures like Benjamin Disraeli and discussing the widespread impact of secret societies on European politics. Webster outlines her intent to examine the revolutionary ideas that have emerged from these societies, emphasizing their connection to significant historical events such as the French Revolution and Bolshevism. She reflects on the challenges faced by anti-revolutionary writers in articulating their perspectives against a backdrop of cultural and literary opposition, hinting at a deeper conspiracy that seeks to obscure the true nature of these movements.
