Why did parents prosecute their children as witches? Why did a
sixteenth-century midwife entice a burgher woman to pretend that
she was giving birth to puppies? How did the life of a transsexual
woman in early eighteenth-century Hamburg come to its end? This
volume presents a range of startling case-studies from German
society between the Renaissance and the Enlightenment which make us
consider the meanings of gender and identity in the past and which
relates, above all, to the lived experiences of men and women,
whose lives and choices mattered. The book argues for approaches to
early modern history which point to the complexity of peoples'
attitudes, in terms of contemporary experiences of the physical,
both emotional and imaginary; of shifting symbolisations of evil,
sexual symbolisms, of perceived boundaries between the 'real' and
the 'fantastical', family structures and spiritual worlds.
