AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
First edition. One of the classic modern accounts of the history of witchcraft. Conforms to WorldCat / OCLC: 1544480.
Original dark purple cloth with gilt titles to the spine. A touch of bumping to the corners and rubbing to the spine. A sticker to the front boards shows that this was once the property of the Boots Booklover's library. This is the only library mark.
Internally clean and tidy throughout, with a little foxing to the end papers only. Slight darkening to the edges. Some pencilled annotations intermittently (non obtrusive).
316 pages. 22.5 x 15cm.
"A brief account of the history in Christian times of that perverted way of the soul which we call magic, or (on a lower level) witchcraft, and with the reaction against it. There are two authors who have laid the most casual student of the subject under heavy debt - Dr. Montague Summers and the late Dr. Henry Charles Lea. I am not myself convinced either by Dr. Summers' belief or by Dr. Lea's contempt" - from the author's preface.
Williams began life working in a Methodist bookshop, but quickly progressed to being a poet and author on spiritual themes. He attracted the admiration of Auden, Eliot and Lewis.
