James Allen was a prolific writer in the early 1900s and wrote in the genre of Wallace Wattles, Charles Haanel, and others involved in the Modern Thought Movement. Although he was a prolific author, little is known or written about James. In some ways, James Allen is a literary mystery man. His inspirational writings have influenced millions for good. Yet today he remains almost unknown…… None of his nineteen books give a clue to his life other than to mention his place of residence – Ilfracombe, England
Allen’s literary career was short, lasting only nine years, until he died in 1912. During that period he wrote nineteen books, a rich outpouring of ideas that have lived on to inspire later generations. He has also been classed into the group known as the New Thought Writers, which also included Orison Swett Marden and Charles Haanel
In 1902 Allen began to publish his spiritual magazine, The Light of Reason, later retitled The Epoch.
His wife Lily Allen renamed the magazine Epoch and continued to publish his magazine after his death and summarized her husband’s literary mission in the preface to one of his posthumously published manuscripts, Foundation Stones to Happiness and Success saying:
“He never wrote theories, or for the sake of writing, but he wrote when he had a message, and it became a message only when he had lived it out in his own life, and knew that it was good. Thus he wrote facts, which he had proven by practice
Regardless of his notoriety, I have found his writing beneficial and relevant to the lifestyle I have fashioned from Practicing my Definite Major Purpose for the past 60 years.
