Description

Explore the connection between magic and modernity in nineteenth-century England with this academic work from Cambridge University Press. The Magical Imagination: Magic and Modernity in Urban England, 1780-1914 examines how popular magical mentalities helped individuals navigate the shifts of urban life. While many studies focus on rural traditions, author Karl Bell looks at the urban experience to show how the magical imagination served as a cultural resource. This history demonstrates how these beliefs provided a sense of agency for people living in changing urban environments. It offers a fresh perspective on how supernatural beliefs functioned within the modernizing world of the nineteenth century.
