It offers modernized versions of the most significant early modern texts on nine cases of demonic possession from the period 1570 to 1650, the key period in English history for demonic possession. The nine stories were all written by eyewitnesses or were derived from eyewitness reports. They involve matters of life and death, sin and sanctity, guilt and innocence, of crimes which could not be committed and punishments which could not be deserved. The nine critical introductions which accompany the stories address the different strategic intentions of those who wrote them. The modernized texts and critical introductions are placed within the context of a wide-ranging general Introduction to demonic possession in England across the period 1550 to 1700.Demonic Possession & Exorcism in Early Modern EnglandDemoniac possessionEnglandCase studiesExorcismEnglandCase studiesDemoniac possessionEnglandHistory16th centuryExorcismEnglandHistory16th centuryDemoniac possessionEnglandHistory17th centuryExorcismEnglandHistory17th centuryDemoniac possessionExorcismDemoniac possessionHistoryExorcismHistoryDemoniac possessionHistoryExorcismHistory133.4/26/094209031Almond Philip C.UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910784408503321Demonic possession and exorcism in early modern England3691873UNINA
