This collection of sixteen essays deals with the role of magic,
religion and witchcraft in European culture, 1450-1650, and the
critical role of the visual in that culture. It covers the
relationship of humanism and magic; the intersection of religious
ritual, orthodoxy and power; the discursive links between the
visual language of witchcraft and contemporary anxieties about
sexuality and savagery.
The introductory chapter urges us to exorcise our tendency to
reduce historical experiences of the demonic to forms of unreason
created in a distant past. Only then can we understand the role of
the demonic in our historical definition of the self and the other.
Richly illustrated with 112 images, the book will interest
historians and art historians.
