Raising Spirits: How a Conjuror’s Tale Was Transmitted across the Enlightenment - Palgrave Historical Studies in Witchcraft and Magic
J. Barry
Despite supernatural scepticism, stories about spirits were regularly printed and shared throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. 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.
