Raising Spirits: How a Conjuror’s Tale Was Transmitted

Raising Spirits: How a Conjuror’s Tale Was Transmitted across the Enlightenment (Palgrave Historical Studies in Witchcraft and Magic)

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.
