Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft - 0 views

  •  
    Description : "Letters on demonology and witchcraft by Sir Walter Scott" has been published online as part of the Sacred Texts project. It is based on a text published in New York in 1885, which originally appeared between 1829 and 1847. The letters are an interesting commentary on most issues pertaining to witchcraft and demonology in a style typical of the nineteenth century interest in the occult, and other such fascinations with the supernatural. Topics discussed include: the Gods of Valhalla; The Prophetesses of the Germans; fairies; Merlin and Arthur; Reginald Scot; and Isobel Gowdie. It is a curious mix, more of use to the literary historian, or historian interested in the portrayal and representation of witchcraft and demonology, or alternatively those in the field of eighteenth century English Studies. A straightforward site presented as pages of consecutive text.
