RENAISSANCE MAGIC AND THE RETURN OF THE GOLDEN AGE. The Occult Tradition and Marlowe, Jonson, and Shakespeare.

First edition, first printing. Original ochre cloth with black titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. Illustrated with nine figures in black and white. A very good copy, the binding firm with the slightest bowing to the boards. There is a little occasional spotting to the margins and the closed text block edge, the contents are otherwise clean and without previous owners' stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the lightly rubbed, nicked and creased dustwrapper that is a little toned and spotted.

A detailed reevaluation of the significance of occult philosophy in Renaissance thought and literature.
