A ground-breaking book which introduces the concept of 'service magic' while re-evaluating magic in medieval and early modern English society.

Recenzje

'The attention paid by the author to both magicians and clients is a strength of this volume. Her detailed discussion of popular practices – such as the use of clay balls, and of sieves balanced on shears – is very engaging.' Anne Lawrence-Mathers, Professor of History, University of Reading
