This is the second, and extensively revised, edition of the first
full-scale scholarly study of what is arguably the only
fully-formed religion that England has ever given the world: that
of modern pagan witchcraft, which has now spread from English
shores across four continents. Ronald Hutton examines the nature of
that religion and its development, 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 very nature often sensational, and care is taken
throughout to distinguish fact from fantasy, in a manner not
hitherto applied to most of the stories involved. Consistently
densely researched, 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 all of the new research
carried out into the subject by the author, and by others who have
often been inspired by this book, during the twenty years since it
was first published.
