Описание: Beliefs and claims concerning impossible phenomena and superhuman agency require literary historians to determine whether an occult system of magical operation is being described in a given text. Each chapter in this volume evaluates whether a chosen early modern author is endorsing magic as efficacious or divinely sanctioned, or criticizing it for being fraudulent or unholy. By examining works of fiction, it is possible to explore fantastic settings which were not intended to be synonymous with the early modern audiences everyday experience, settings where magic exists and operates according to the playwrights designs. The book also determines what historical sources provided given authors with knowledge of the occult and it speculates on how aware an audience would have been of academic, classical, or popular contexts surrounding the text at hand. It brings together authors of fiction with philosophers and academics in Early Modern England and compares their ways of describing and understanding the world. It also explores popular culture, as well as the culture of the learned and elite. The book examines the intellectual consequences of the Reformation and compares the spiritual and doctrinal practices of the occult to those of orthodoxy.
