A World Enchanted: Magic and the Margins
Edited by Julie Davies and Michael Pickering
Announcing the second volume in the Melbourne Historical Journal Research Series: A World Enchanted: Magic and the Margins. This collection of essays by students, past and present, from the University of Melbourne celebrates the life and scholarly work of Professor Charles Zika. It commemorates not only his influential and pioneering academic output, but also the man himself: as supervisor, mentor and friend to students who have undertaken studies in early modern history at the University. The wide array of topics, methods and themes presented in this book reflect the broad spectrum of scholarly interests with which Professor Zika has engaged and continues to pursue: there is a strong emphasis on the intellectual and cultural history of witchcraft and magic, as well as an examination of marginalised communities and their representations within contemporary societies and discourses. A World Enchanted: Magic and the Margins presents reflections of current scholars who were once students of Professor Zika as well as the work of the next generation of early modern scholars to emerge from History at the University of Melbourne.
