A tantalising volume.. He goes well beyond the titillating, copiously illustrated accounts of the occult that appear on many a bookshelf. * Glasgow Herald *
Concise, erudite... With his characteristically light touch, Katz outlines the main 18th- and 19th-century manifestations of the occult tradition. -- Michael Burleigh * Sunday Times *
Intelligent, encyclopaedic and lucidly written, it is a history of occult scholarship in the west, from the Renaissance to modern-day religious fundamentalism in the US. -- Ludovic Hunter-Tilney * Financial Times *
The author follows capably and lucidly in the tradition of two great modern scholars of esotericism, Frances Yates and Keith Thomas, whose work started the field of occult studies, and he shows convincingly that occultism is the shadow side of science, itself a development of arcane studies. -- Iain Finlayson * The Times *
His unique contributions go to show how the occult tradition continued into the 21st-century world. Some people's shelves groan with works on mysticism and the occult, and this would make an erudite addition for them. For those who will read only one book on the exegesis of ancient grimoires, this should be it. -- Jad Adams * Guardian *
