Simon Young

An Analysis of Keith Thomas's Religion and the Decline of Magic

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Few social historians had examined the popular religious beliefs of the 1500s at the time Thomas published Religion and the Decline of Magic in 1971. His analysis of how deeply held beliefs in witchcraft, spirits, and magic evolved during the Reformation remains one of the great works of post-war scholarship.
