Raising Spirits: How a Conjuror’s Tale Was Transmitted across the Enlightenment: Palgrave Historical Studies in Witchcraft and Magic

Autor J. Barry
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 noi 2013

This case-study in the transmission of a single story (of a young gunsmith near Bristol conjuring spirits, leading to his early death) reveals both how and why successive generations found meaning in such accounts.
