Description

Magic, Witchcraft, and Ghosts in the Enlightenment challenges the traditional narrative that magical beliefs disappeared after 1650 by demonstrating their continued significance throughout the long eighteenth century. This scholarly work examines how magical practices and ideas persisted among European populations even as intellectual justifications for natural magic faced mounting criticism by 1700. The book explores the philosophes' sustained attacks on magic alongside religion as outdated superstitions incompatible with enlightened thought. Through detailed analysis of both continuities and transformations in magical belief systems, this Routledge study reveals the complex relationship between popular magical practices, intellectual discourse, and the cultural anxieties of the Enlightenment period. Essential for historians, scholars of witchcraft studies, and anyone interested in understanding how magical thinking evolved during this pivotal era of Western intellectual history.

Key Features

Examines magical practices and beliefs throughout the long eighteenth century, challenging assumptions about their decline after 1650.

Part of the Routledge Studies in the History of Witchcraft, Demonology and Magic series for academic rigour and scholarly authority.
