Requirements: PDF Reader 17.75 MB
Overview: The volume is concerned with both the receding of witchcraft and magic and yet their persistence too, sometimes in new and +striking forms.
The eighteenth century saw the end of witch trials everywhere. The authors chart the process of and reasons for the decriminalization of witchcraft, but also challenge the widespread assumption that Europe then became "disenchanted." Here for the first time are surveys of the social role of witchcraft in European communities, as well as a full treatment of Victorian supernaturalism and of the continued importance of witchcraft and magic as topics of debate among intellectuals and other writers.
