Ignatius Donnelly était un écrivain américain distinctif aux penchants populistes et scientifiques. Son œuvre explorait souvent des théories controversées, notamment celles entourant l'Atlantide, la paternité des œuvres de Shakespeare et le catastrophisme.

Sa curiosité intellectuelle et sa quête de vérités cachées continuent de résonner.
