Product Information
An earl's son, plotting murder by witchcraft; conjuring spirits to find buried treasure; a stolen coat embroidered with pure silver; crooked gaming-houses and brothels; a terrifying new disease, and the self-trained surgeon who claims he can treat it. This is the world of Gregory Wisdom, a physician, magician, and consummate con-man in sixteenth-century London. Drawing on previously unknown documents to reconstruct this extraordinary man's career, Alec Ryrie takes us through the cut-throat business of early modern medicine, down to Tudor London's gangland of fraud and organized crime; from the world of Renaissance magi and Kabbalistic conjurers to street-corner wizards; and into the chaotic, exhilarating religious upheavals of the Reformation. On the way, we learn how Tudor England's dignified public face and its rapacious underworld were intimately connected to each other. Gregory Wisdom's career is an object lesson in how to conjure up wealth and respectability from nothing in a turbulent age. Praised as "an excellent snapshot of a time intrigued by the spiritual realm" (Los Angeles Times), this is a unique glimpse into a world intoxicated by new ideas.

Reviews
"The book illuminates various shady pathways of Tudor political and social history, and the author lets his story unfold with considerable flair." --BBC Music Magazine. 01/11/2008, "Advance Praise: This is a treat. It's a great story, an exciting piece of detective work, a portrait of some delectably appalling characters, and tells us much that is new about the Tudor underworld of crime and magic." --Ronald Hutton, author of The Triumph of the Moon: A History of Pagan Witchcraft, Review from previous edition: "It would be hard not to love this book. It relates a fascinating, neglected story; it is wonderfully well written but also bears the hallmarks of a rigorous and inventive historical imagination; and it makes all sorts of unexpected connotations between seeminglyunconnected aspects of Tutor society." --Jonathan Wright, The Tablet 06/10/08, "The author lets his story unfold with considerable flair." --Owen Davies, BBC History Magazine 01/11/2008, "This is the past seen from the inside, and from as low a vantage as possible. Very elegantly written... The investigative work [Ryrie] has undertaken must have been arduous, but his surmises are apt and his interpretations happy." --Peter Ackroyd, The Times 19/09/2008, "Ryrie takes us on a journey into areas of Tudor England which rarely make it into the popular history books. Starting from what can be pieced together about one obscure figure, he opens up a world of con - men, magicians, prostitutes, astrolgers, dubious doctors and aristocrats down on theirluck. His subject matter combines with a deft writing style which carries his readers down a variety of gloriously unexpected by-ways, and leaves them wanting to know more about the Tudor underworld he evokes so vividly." --James Sharpe, author of The Bewitching of Anne Gunter, "A Tudor story that glitters with wit and erudition. Ryrie has produced a veritable nugget of gold." --Leanda de Lisle, History Today 01/12/2008, 'Ryrie takes us on a journey into areas of Tudor England which rarely make it into the popular history books.

'James Sharpe, author of The Bewitching of Anne Gunter, "Ryrie displays his customary elegant wit in illuminating Tudor England from unexpected angles, not least in revealing that piety and Protestantism, thuggery and fraud, can be entertainingly close in their kinship. This is religion without any decline in magic." --Diarmaid MacCulloch, author of Reformation: Europe's House Divided, 'Ryrie displays his customary elegant wit in illuminating Tudor England from unexpected angles, not least in revealing that piety and Protestantism, thuggery and fraud, can be entertainingly close in their kinship.
