The life of Sara Louisa, Lady Blomfield, spanned one of the most exciting periods in human history - the last half of the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries and the social and political developments that defined the era: the suffragist movement, the rise of eastern religious thought, Theosophy and spiritualism in Europe, the First World War, modernization. She experienced the poverty of rural Ireland and the ceremony of the royal court in London. Beyond this, Lady Blomfield was one of the most socially distinguished adherents of the Baha'i Faith, moving in social circles that included royalty, members of government and the celebrities of the day. She was the gracious and generous hostess to 'Abdu'l Baha on His historic visits to London in 1911 and 1912-13 and was a chronicler of Baha'i history in her book The Chosen Highway."

Based upon extensive archival research and bringing to life the words and actions of extraordinary individuals from the early 20th century, this book calls into question contemporary assumptions about the appreciation of diversity as a solely postcolonial phenomenon. It shows how Bahá’í, Muslim, and Jewish leaders prior to and during WWI found value in the existence of many different religions, races, languages, nations, and ethnicities within the British Empire. Recognition of this heterogeneity combined with sympathy for certain liberal traditions allowed those historical actors to engage with that imperial state and culture in ways that would have an impact on future generations and relevance to modern debates.

Exploring ‘Abdul-Bahá’s visits to Britain expands the jigsaw of our knowledge of how “the east came west”. The work posits that the “cultic milieu” thesis is incomplete and the arrival of eastern forms of religions penetrated more mainstream Christian forms.
