Ronald Hutton examines the nature of that religion and its development and offers a history of attitudes to witchcraft paganism and magic in British society since 1800. Its pages reveal village cunning folk Victorian ritual magicians classicists and archaeologists leaders of woodcraft and scouting movements Freemasons and members of rural secret societies. We also find some of the leading figures of English literature from the Romantic poets to W. B. Yeats D. H. Lawrence and Robert Graves as well as the main personalities who have represented pagan witchcraft to the public world since 1950. Thriller writers like Dennis Wheatley and films and television programmes get similar coverage as does tabloid journalism. The material is by its very nature often sensational and care is taken throughout to distinguish fact from fantasy in a manner not hitherto applied to most of the stories involved. Consistently densely researched Triumph of the Moon presents an authoritative insight into an aspect of modern cultural history which has attracted sensational publicity but has hitherto been little understood. This edition incorporates all of the new research carried out into the subject by the author and by others who have often been inspired by this book during the twenty years since it was first published.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Triumph Of The Moon A History Of Modern Pagan Witchcraft\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Hutton Ronald (Professor Of History Bristol University)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780198827368\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 544 Pages, Black And White Images\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 12\/1\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Witchcraft","brand":"Hutton Ronald (Professor Of History Bristol University)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49592349327665,"sku":"IN-G-9780198827368","price":34.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780198827368.jpg?v=1754873914","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780198827368-the-triumph-of-the-moon-a-history-of-modern-pagan-witchcraft","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
