The majority of male magicians acted from a position of control and command commensurate with their social position in a patriarchal society; other men, however, used the notion of magic to subvert gender ideals while still aiming to attain hegemony. Whilst women who claimed to perform magic were usually more submissive in their attempted dealings with the spirit world, some female practitioners employed magic to undermine the patriarchal culture and further their own agenda. Frances Timbers studies the practice of ritual magic in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries focusing especially on gender and sexual perspectives. Using the examples of well-known individuals who set themselves up as magicians (including John Dee, Simon Forman and William Lilly), as well as unpublished diaries and journals, literature and legal records, this book provides a unique analysis of early modern ceremonial magic from a gender perspective."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aInternational library of historical studies ;$v92. 517 1 $aMagic & masculinity :$eritual magic & gender in the early modern era 606 $aMagic$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aMagic$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aRitual$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aRitual$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aBritish & Irish history$2BIC 615 0$aMagic$xHistory 615 0$aMagic$xHistory 615 0$aRitual$xHistory 615 0$aRitual$xHistory 615 7$aBritish & Irish history. 676 $a133.430942 676 $a133.430810942 700 $aTimbers$b Frances$01795454 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959124203321 996 $aMagic and masculinity$94336726 997 $aUNINA
