Maximilian Schele de Vere, commonly known as M. Schele de Vere, was a distinguished 19th-century polymath known for his contributions to literature with a focus on the esoteric and mystical. Born in Sweden, de Vere made significant strides in the academic domains of philology, mythology, and folklore. One of his prominent works is 'Modern Magic', a comprehensive treatise on the evolution of magical practices, which exemplifies his deep dive into the anthropological aspects of sorcery and its changing manifestations throughout history. De Vere's scholarly approach is evident in his meticulous documentation and analysis of magical traditions. His literary style seamlessly weaves academic rigour with captivating narrative, making esoteric knowledge accessible to both scholars and lay readers. Through 'Modern Magic', de Vere positions himself as a seminal figure in the study of comparative mythology and the cultural significance of magic.
