Reviews

“Sofie Lachapelle’s Conjuring Science brings to the forefront a multifaceted history, examining how magic and science remarkably coexisted in France between the mid-eighteenth and the early twentieth century. … Conjuring Science offers an interesting portrait of the influence of popular magic and science education in nineteenth-century France. … this book enriches our historical understanding of the fine line often artificially created between science, popular knowledge and belief, and émerveillement.” (Jean-François Gauvin, Isis, Vol. 108 (3), September, 2017)
