    As Ballett und Pantomime was produced not long after the end of WW1, Schnackenberg attracted attention with his creations. His figures and drawings make it clear that in dance and pantomime, the people felt they could reclaim the right to rejoice in the beauty of the body, in animated movement, in colour, in costume, in performance. Tipped on images size: 285 x 230 mm (11¼ x 9 inches). Whole sheet, including margins: 510 x 390 mm (20 x 15¼ inches). Sold under passe partout with colour of image picked out in detail to the edge.

"A brief account of the history in Christian times of that perverted way of the soul which we call magic, or (on a lower level) witchcraft, and with the reaction against it. there are two authors who have laid the most casual student of the subject under heavy debt - Dr. Montague Summers and the late Dr. Henry Charles Lea. I am not myself convinced either by Dr. Summers belief or by Dr. Lea's contempt" - from the author's preface. Williams began life working in a Methodist bookshop, but quickly progressed to being a poet and author on spiritual themes. He attracted the admiration of Auden, Eliot and Lewis.

Je ne suis moi-même convaincu ni par les convictions du Dr Summers ni par le mépris du Dr Lea" - extrait de la préface de l'auteur. Williams a commencé sa vie en travaillant dans une librairie méthodiste, mais il s'est rapidement orienté vers la poésie et la rédaction d'ouvrages sur des thèmes spirituels. Il a suscité l'admiration d'Auden, d'Eliot et de Lewis.

    Chadwick Hansen made an astonishing claim in this book. He asserted that a few of those accused in Salem were actually guilty, and that witches did practice in Salem, some causing real harm to others.
    "There was witchcraft in Salem, and it worked," writes Hansen, who was a former English professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. "There was every reason to regard it as a criminal offense."
    Belief in witchcraft was far from unique to Salem, Hansen argued; it was endemic to Europe at the time and a constant in the English culture that 17th century New England reflected.
