Recenzje

"In fine, this book is extremely rich in insights, and makes the magical world of the English Renaissance, the world of Raleigh’s “School of Night” and Doctor Dee, accessible. One turns with renewed fascination to books like Sidney’s Arcadia, equipped to understand their mysteries. A dazzling book, which belongs in every occult or literary library." - Mildred Faintly
