Shows students of the history of witchcraft and magic that the
beliefs of the seventeenth century continued through the
Enlightenment, despite the attempts by philosophers to dismiss
magic and its practice, into the nineteenth century. The volume is
divided into three sections highlighting different definitions of
magic including the concern over the non-material world as found in
popular and elite practices, its relationship with science and
medicine, and other forms of divination available to the general
population. Providing students with a broad view of how magic was
engaged with in the eighteenth century to inform their own studies.
Explores the relationship between magic, science and medicine
providing students with a good understanding of how the emerging
fields of science and medicine came into conflict with popular
belief in and practice of magic. Allowing students to see why magic
still resonated with the general public into the nineteenth
century.
