Contemporary Paganism emerged in Britain in the 1940s and 1950s as
a new religious movement, although practitioners understood
themselves to be participating in a witchcraft tradition extending
back into medieval-if not prehistoric-times. In recent decades,
Pagan Studies has emerged through a plethora of sophisticated
anthropological, sociological, and historical studies, and this new
three-volume collection from Routledge's Critical Concepts in
Religious Studies series brings together the best foundational and
cutting-edge scholarship in one 'mini library'. Volume I addresses
the emergence of Paganism as a religion. It collects scholarly
analyses of the historical evolution of Paganism, and is organized
under topics including debates of historical accuracy, influences
on the development of Paganism, and the process of routinization in
the religion. The second volume addresses the importance of
environmentalism in contemporary Paganism, including work on how
Pagans think about the natural world, environmental ethics, and
related political activism. The final volume addresses the
importance of gender issues and feminism in contemporary Paganism,
and collects the best research on topics including immanence,
embodiment, self-image, and sexuality. Paganism is fully indexed
and has a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor,
which places the collected material in its historical and
intellectual context. It is an essential work of reference and is
destined to be valued by scholars and students as a vital one-stop
research and pedagogic resource.
