It investigates how history has simplified the work of some of the key figures of the age, presenting them as 'legitimate' and removing their more complex motivations. This book is a scholarly but readable exploration of forces we rely upon (electricity) and ones we have abandoned (vital fluid, animal magnetism). Ranging across literature, drama, philosophy and science, it demonstrates how hopes, fears and anxieties around occult phenomena have been expressed over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Punter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031678818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031678813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.44d","brand":"Michael Punter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46465650589951,"sku":"9783031678813","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f62a13b9-7254-42e2-ba28-88efdff84ba5.jpg?v=1736346881","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mysterious-and-the-occult-michael-punter-9783031678813","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
