The English historian and antiquary Thomas Wright (1810 70)
co-founded and joined a number of antiquarian and literary
societies. He was greatly interested in Old English, Middle English
and Anglo-Norman texts, and in the 1840s and 1850s he published
widely within these areas. Gradually his focus shifted to the
archaeology of Roman Britain and to Anglo-Saxon cemeteries.
Although much of Wright's research has been completely superseded,
his work is still considered worth consulting, as he collected
material not readily available elsewhere. This two-volume 1851
publication is testimony to Wright's interest in folklore, sorcery
and legend. In Volume 1 the author accounts of sorcery across
Europe, and he considers the legendary Dr Faustus as an archetypal
magician who called 'the demon'. Wright also discusses the place of
the occult in England during and after the Reformation, writing
about magicians such as John Dee, and describing King James I's
views on witchcraft.
