The Occult Philosophy in the Elizabethan Age
Frances Yates follows Christian Cabala from Pico and Reuchlin through Francesco Giorgi and Agrippa into the England of John Dee, Spenser, Marlowe and Shakespeare. She argues that a Cabalist-Hermetic 'occult philosophy' shaped Elizabethan culture and provoked the witch-hunting reaction against it. Written with characteristic verve, it is essential reading on the Renaissance afterlife of Kabbalah, though some arguments are now debated.
