John Dee’s Life With The Angels

from Conway Hall: Where Ethics Matter Hosted by Conway Hall

John Dee’s central lie about his life is still uncritically accepted: that under Queen Mary, like other Protestants, he had been persecuted. This talk will outline the true story, which shows how Dee’s angelic magic affected not only his own life but those of the most prominent Elizabethans who shared much of his ‘occult philosophy’. Professor Glyn Parry is the author of ‘The Arch-Conjuror of England: John Dee’ (Yale University Press, 2011). Recorded at Conway Hall.
