| Eleanor Roach wrote, in her edition of Melusine, "It is clear that for the history of thought and culture of an era, the work of a less gifted poet which was widely distributed in its own time is much more interesting than a text of great literary value that was unknown to its contemporaries. Professor Williams begins with Jean d'Arras's prose history of the fairy nymph Melusine (1393) and moves from there to the magical works of Paracelsus and the demonologies of Heinrich Kramer, Johann Weyer, Jean Bodin (as translated into German by Johann Fischart), and Pierre de Lancre. |
