Sir Walter Scott (1771 1832) is best known for his poetry and for
historical novels such as Ivanhoe and Rob Roy, but he also had a
lifelong fascination with witchcraft and the occult. Following a
spell of ill-health, Scott was encouraged by his son-in-law,
publisher J. G. Lockhart, to put together a volume examining the
causes of paranormal phenomena. This collection of letters, first
published in 1830, is notable for both its scope (examining social,
cultural, medical and psychological factors in peoples' paranormal
experiences) and its clear, rational standpoint. Scott explores the
influence of Christianity on evolving views of what is classified
as 'witchcraft' or 'evil', and he explains the many (often
innocuous) meanings of the word 'witch'. Written with palpable
enthusiasm and from a strikingly modern perspective, this volume
explores a range of topics including fairies, elves and
fortune-telling as well as inquisitions and witch trials.
