Children of Wrath: Possession, Prophecy and the Young in Early Modern England (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The spiritual status of the early modern child was often confused and uncertain, and yet in the wake of the English Reformation became an issue of urgent interest. This book explores questions surrounding early modern childhood, focusing especially on some of the extreme religious experiences in which children are documented: those of demonic possession and godly prophecy.
