Raising Spirits [PDF ebook] 
How a Conjuror’s Tale Was Transmitted across the Enlightenment

поддержка

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.
