About the Author


“The newest addition to the outstanding 'Early Modern Studies Series' from Truman State University Press, The Magical Adventures of Mary Parish: The Occult World of Seventeenth-Century London is an outstanding contribution to academic library 17th Century British Spiritualism and Metaphysical Studies reference collections. Enhanced with the inclusion of historical illustrations, an informative Prologue, and a thirteen page Index, it should be noted for academia and the non-specialist general reader with an interest in the history of Western Metaphysics.”

—Margaret Lane, Midwest Book Review
