In Exorcism and Its Texts, Hilaire Kallendorf demonstrates how this 'infection' was represented in some thirty works of literature by fifteen different authors, ranging from canonical classics like Shakespeare, Cervantes, Ben Jonson, and Lope de Vega, to obscure works by anonymous writers. From comic and tragic drama to picaresque narrative and eight other genres, possession worked as a paradigm through which authors could convey extraordinary experience, including not only demonic possession but also madness or even murder. The devil was thought to be able to enter the bodily organs and infect memory, imagination, and reason. Some came to believe that possession was tied to enthusiasm, poetic frenzy, prophecy, and genius. Authors often drew upon sensational details of actual exorcisms. In some cases, such as in Shakespeare, curing the body (and the body politic) meant affirming cultural authority; in others, as with Zamora, it clearly meant subverting it. Drawing on the disciplines of literary theory and history, Exorcism and its Texts is the first comprehensive study of this compelling topic. 410 0$aUniversity of Toronto romance series. 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aExorcism in literature 606 $aSpanish literature$yClassical period, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aComparative literature$xEnglish and Spanish 606 $aComparative literature$xSpanish and English 606 $aChristianity and literature$zEngland 606 $aChristianity and literature$zSpain 606 $aDemoniac possession in literature 606 $aSubjectivity in literature 606 $aHuman body in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aExorcism in literature. 615 0$aSpanish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aComparative literature$xEnglish and Spanish. 615 0$aComparative literature$xSpanish and English. 615 0$aChristianity and literature 615 0$aChristianity and literature 615 0$aDemoniac possession in literature. 615 0$aSubjectivity in literature. 615 0$aHuman body in literature. 676 $a820.937 700 $aKallendorf$b Hilaire$f1974-$0851624 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456332103321 996 $aExorcism and its texts$92482813 997 $aUNINA 999 $p$76.50$u12/08/2018$5Eng
