This book is exclusively devoted to demonic possession and exorcism
in early modern England. 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.
