"Scientist, mathematician, and court astrologer to Queen Elizabeth I, John Dee is also one of the sixteenth-century's most renowned alchemists, driven by a passion to fathom the elemental secrets of the cosmos. But when his reckless assistant, Edward Kelley, succeeds in using a crystal sphere to summon angels, Dee is catapulted into an awesome struggle that may extinguish the light of reason forever."

"Anneké Pettican and the Brass Art collective reworked the drawings of Queen Elizabeth I’s alchemist and magician John Dee.
AN INTRIGUING study of hands and gestures by Elizabethan alchemist John Dee have been brought to life in an exhibition [in 2017] featuring works of art by an award-winning artist from the University of Huddersfield.
Anneké Pettican from the University’s School of Art, Design and Architecture is one of three members of the art collective Brass Art and their exhibition entitled Gestured, is a collection of sculptures and video works inspired by alchemy, transformation and symbolic gesture found in the famous alchemist’s book."

Elizabeth Olsen Brocious

"Alchemical imagery and ideology is present in many Romantic works of literature, but it has largely been overlooked by literary historians in their
contextualization of the time period. The same can be said for mysticism in general, of which alchemy is a subset. This project accounts for alchemy in the works of
transcendental philosophers and writers as it contributes to some of the most important conversations of the Romantic time period, particularly the reaction against empirical philosophy and the articulation of creative processes."
