Five studies in talent and perversity
4: Aleister Crowley
'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.' 'Love is the law - law under will.'
Crowley, poet, mountaineer and black magician, looms in some ways larger and more sinister today than at the time of his death in a seedy Hastings boarding-house nearly 40 years ago. With help from those who knew him or have written about him - Arthur Calder-Marshall . Robin Cecil , Francis King ,
Angela Yorke - and the voice of the master himself. Frances Donnelly tries to disinter the facts from the fiction obscuring the life of a man who delighted in being styled 'the wickedest man in the world'.
Producer GRAHAM TAYAR
