The Devil by Philip C. Almond5/20/2023 ![]() ![]() Some of my academic colleagues love doing the research and don’t like the writing. I love the way it’s me who starts and then, if it goes well, the writing takes over. PHILIP: This is a very difficult question to answer. How would you say that your work has developed over the – wow! almost thirty – years, and do the same themes interest you now as they did back in the late ‘80s? In other words, can we see a linear progression in the subjects you have tackled in print, or are you drawn to topics – for instance, the Devil the first manual of magic the Lancashire Witches – on a more ad hoc basis? I’m trying to get to the bottom of what really motivates you as an author. Over the last decade you’ve become a pillar of the IBT list and have written four previous books for us, and now Afterlife is the fifth. Alex Wright, Executive Editor at I.B.Tauris, talked to Philip Almond about his new book Afterlife: A History of Life After Death, which is published on 9 June 2016.ĪLEX: Phil, I realise to my great satisfaction and pride that you and I have been working together since 1988, the year I published The British Discovery of Buddhism at CUP. ![]()
