It seeks to overturn the accepted view that astrology was a marginal pursuit that died out after the mid-seventeenth century. In reality astrology was a vital pan of English cultural life, surviving in various forms and despite powerful opposition throughout the eighteenth century. Drawing on a wide range of unpublished primary sources, the author examines the heyday of astrology, its practitioners, clients and critics and the power struggles which characterized its development in the midseventeenth century. He analyzes the subsequent decline of astrology in early modern England, showing how most astrological practice was marginalized, while among the elite it was absorbed into the development of Newtonian natural philosophy. This accessible work provides a picture of a complex and important age, whose values and attitudes have helped to shape modern society. Informed by an awareness of contemporary debates in history and social theory, this book will appeal to social historians and to students and researchers in the history and philosophy of science and the history of ideas, as well as the general reader interested in astrology.
