'a brilliant history' The Sunday Times 'makes for riveting reading'
The Independent Modern pagan witchcraft is arguably the only
fully-formed religion England has given the world, and has now
spread across four continents. This second edition of The Triumph
of the Moon extensively revises the first full-scale scholarly
study of modern pagan witchcraft. Ronald Hutton examines the nature
and development of this religion, and offers a history of attitudes
to witchcraft, paganism and magic in British society since 1800.
Its pages reveal village cunning folk, Victorian ritual magicians,
classicists and archaeologists, leaders of woodcraft and scouting
movements, Freemasons, and members of rural secret societies. We
also find some of the leading figures of English literature, from
the Romantic poets to W. B. Yeats, D. H. Lawrence and Robert
Graves, as well as the main personalities who have represented
pagan witchcraft to the public world since 1950. Thriller writers
like Dennis Wheatley, and films and television programmes, get
similar coverage, as does tabloid journalism. The material is by
its nature often sensational, and care is taken throughout to
distinguish fact from fantasy, in a manner not previously applied
to most of the stories involved. Meticulously researched, The
Triumph of the Moon presents an authoritative insight into an
aspect of modern cultural history which has attracted sensational
publicity but has hitherto been little understood. This edition
incorporates new research carried out by the author as well as
research by others who have been inspired by this book over the
twenty years since its first publication.
