The Discourse of Spirits in Enlightenment Bristol
7 Beyond the witch trials Public infidelity and private belief? Public infidelity and private belief? The discourse of spirits in Enlightenment Bristol Jonathan Barry Recent work on the history of witchcraft and magic has identified three themes or approaches as of particular importance in our understanding of a subject which, although it has been centre stage since the publication of Religion and the Decline of Magic in 1971, has continued to trouble historians. The first problem, acknowledged as ‘the most baffling aspect of this difficult subject’ by Thomas himself, is that of ‘decline’: by rendering early modern witchcraft beliefs intelligible, historians have highlighted the issue of why and how far they ceased to have meaning (or function), and many have regarded this as the least satisfactory feature of Thomas’s account.1 The great interest now being displayed in the culture of the long eighteenth century, including its occult aspects, has rendered this theme of pressing concern.2 The second issue concerns the need for case studies. It is broadly agreed that witchcraft must be studied as a conjunctural phenomenon, operating at a whole series of levels and affected by the interplay of a variety of institu- tions, interests and languages. While these can all be analysed separately, it is equally crucial to study their interrelationship and this, for the moment at least, is best done in specific settings where the evidence survives to allow a full reconstruction of the development and resolution of a witchcraft episode.3 Third, historians have become particularly interested in witchcraft as a linguistic phenomenon and one imbedded in narrative. -

The Story of Astronomy
www.astrosociety.org/uitc No. 42 - Spring 1998 © 1998, Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 390 Ashton Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94112. The Story of Astronomy Mindy Kalchman University of Toronto Lorne Brown Storyteller It was dark. The night sky hung clear over the tiny city in the valley; the stars awesome in their brilliance. A small group of men stood on the top of the hill, looking across the city and the valley to another hill on the other side, some fifteen kilometers away. There, a similar group had assembled, their lights flickering in the distance. "We're ready," said the leader of the first group, a bearded man with intense eyes. "Check your lantern." What was happening? Was this a covert military operation? A band of thieves and robbers plotting plunder? Actually, it was a scientific experiment. The leader was the great Galileo himself, who would later be denounced for claiming that the Earth revolves around the Sun. The experiment was simplicity itself: a lantern would be uncovered on one hill. Fifteen kilometers away, a second lantern would be uncovered, shining back to the first. Light would have thus traveled thirty kilometers, twice across the valley where the Italian city of Florence nestled. By timing how long it took the light to travel this distance, Galileo could calculate the speed of light. He was going to catch the ghost of the universe! Oral traditions have since time immemorial satisfied generations of children and adults with stories of wonder, fantasy, truth, and mystery. Stories are irreplaceable stimulants for the imagination and an often endless source of entertainment. -

Wormwood Review
OH WORMIE, YOU'VE TURNED SEVENTEEN... The Wormwood ReviewVolume 5,Number 1IssueSeventeenEditor: MarvinMalone ArtEditor: A.SypherGuest editor,this issue:Allen DeLoachNew YorkRepresentative: HaroldBriggs1965, Wormwood ReviewPress The poets and poems in this anthology are repre sentative of the diverse activity reverberating at the Cafe Le Metro on New York's Lower East Side. Being a center of poetry, rather than a school, Le Metro nur tures the most vital facet of the creative arts: the right and the opportunity to present the created without any form of censorship or pre-judgment. Le Metro not only has the importance of having completely open and permissive readings, but presents, one night a week, a feature reader. Each of the feature readers has either previously obtained recognition in the field of writing, or has shown definite, noticeable growth in that di rection. Since the first of these readings in February of 1963, a random choice of writers that have made an appearance is Gilbert Sorrentino, Joel Oppenheimer, Diane diPrima, Gregory Corso, Denise Levertov, John Weiners, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, LeRoi Jones, Brion Gyson, William Burroughs, etc. The list could continue, and then be added to a similar list of prominent poets who frequently participate in the weekly open readings. However, it is not the elite who profit through the Cafe Le Metro movement. It is the neophytes, shaping their thoughts and molding their voices, who profit mainly through the - availability of associations with poets, such as alien Ginsberg, who always manage to give the extra minutes asked of them. Let it suffice to say that Le Metro offers to any person on any level what he comes for honestly,pri marily because its patrons have made it that way and because its patrons, would like to keep it that way. -

COTTON MATHER’S WONDERS OF THE INVISIBLE WORLD: AN AUTHORITATIVE EDITION by PAUL M. WISE Under the direction of Reiner Smolinski ABSTRACT In Wonders of the Invisible World, Cotton Mather applies both his views on witchcraft and his millennial calculations to events at Salem in 1692. Although this infamous treatise served as the official chronicle and apologia of the 1692 witch trials, and excerpts from Wonders of the Invisible World are widely anthologized, no annotated critical edition of the entire work has appeared since the nineteenth century. This present edition seeks to remedy this lacuna in modern scholarship, presenting Mather’s seventeenth-century text next to an integrated theory of the natural causes of the Salem witch panic. The likely causes of Salem’s bewitchment, viewed alongside Mather’s implausible explanations, expose his disingenuousness in writing about Salem. Chapter one of my introduction posits the probability that a group of conspirators, led by the Rev. -

Aspects of Supernatural Belie?, Memorate and Lend
ASPECTS OF SUPERNATURAL BELIE?, MEMORATE AND LEND IN A CONTEMPORARY UBBAN ENVIRONMENT by GILLIAN BENNETT Submitted for the degree of Ph.D. Department of English Language University of Sheffield April 1985 ABSTRACT The aim of the study is to move away from the antiquarian bias of previous work on the folklore of the supernatural in order to shed light on present day attitudes and concepts. In the past, folkiorists have done very little to collect their own culture, or even to recognise its forms. This has been particularly true of British work on ghost tracii- tions - the tendency of all but a very few scholars has 'been to retire to the library and compile collections of legends. The present study eschews this approach in favour of fieldwork. There are three main aspects of the work. The early chapters provide a resume of texts on the supernatural, from 1572 to the present day, seeking (i) to construct a cultural history of the concept of the ghost, and (ii) to evaluate the usefulness of these texts to the folklorist or historian of ideas. The central part of the thesis concentrates on presenting a picture of contemporary supernatural beliefs, drawing on data collected in informal interviews with 120 mainly elderly people resident in Gatley, a suburb of Manchester. Two central concepts are analysed - that is, ideas about ghosts, and about knowledge of the future. A third chapter describes miscellaneous beliefs (telepathy, UFOs, 'Luck', and mediumistic powers). In the later chapters attention is drawn to the manner of the storytelling through which these beliefs are expressed.
