Regency England was a pivotal time, remembered for its political
uncertainty with a changing monarchy, the Napoleonic Wars, and a
population explosion in London. In Susanna Clarke's fantasy novel
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, the era is also witness to the
unexpected return of magic. Locating the consequences of this
eruption of magical unreason within the context of England's
imperial history, this study examines Merlin and his legacy, the
roles of magicians throughout history, the mythology of
disenchantment, the racism at work in the character of Stephen
Black, the meaning behind the fantasy of magic's return, and the
Englishness of English magic itself. Looking at the larger
historical context of magic and its links to colonialism, this
inaugural treatment offers both a fuller understanding of the
ethical visions underlying Clarke's groundbreaking novel of madness
intertwined with magic, while challenging readers to rethink
connections among national identity, rationality, and power.

sidhe (banshee) to the Will o'' the Wisp (a faery who appears at
night in lonely places carrying a lantern to confuse travellers).
