In a time when modern science was taking its first steps, this kind of prodigy sometimes appeared as a sort of divine punishment for a moral fault, sometimes as a bizarre pastime, or political weapon, or a pre-medical investigation. By deepening such a multifaceted and constantly changing phenomenon, "A Marvellous and Strange Event" tries to build a complex analysis perspective on the English cultural and social history between the 16th and 18th century. 517 $a«A Marvellous and Strange Event» 517 $a«A Marvellous and Strange Event» 606 $aSocial history 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLinguistics 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLinguistics. 676 $a306.09 700 $aBaratta$b Luca$0762511 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910774850303321 996 $a«A Marvellous and Strange Event»$93013698 997 $aUNINA
