Series: Key Thinkers in the Study of Religion

Ernesto de Martino was a major critical thinker in the study of
vernacular religions, producing innovative analyses of key concepts
such as 'folklore', 'magic' and 'ritual'. His methodology stemmed
from his training under the philosopher Benedetto Croce whilst his
philosophical approach to anthropology borrowed from Marx and
Gramsci. Widely celebrated in continental Europe, de Martino's
contribution to the study of religion has not been fully understood
in the Anglophone world though some of his works - 'Primitive
Magic: the Psychic Powers of Shamans and Sorcerers' and 'The Land
of Remorse: a Study of Southern Italian Tarantism' - have been
translated. This volume presents a comprehensive overview of de
Martino's life and work, the thinkers and theories which informed
his writings, his contribution to the study of religions and the
potential of his methodology for contemporary scholarship.
