Magic in Early Modern England: Literature, Politics, and Supernatural Power - Politics, Literature, & Film
Andrew Moore
This book places early modern philosophy and political theory into conversation with sixteenth- and seventeenth-century writing on magic: plays, spell books, treatises, and witch trial narratives. Reading works by Hobbes and Bacon alongside writing by necromancers and witch-hunters reveals a broad cultural obsession with supernatural power.
