Between Worlds
The Reformation of the Eyes
Apparitions were the subject of fierce theological and philosophical debate in the period after the Reformation. But these controversies also raised issues fundamental to the nature and organization of human vision. They crossed and recrossed the boundaries between religion and the science and psychology of optics. Apparitions, after all, are things that appear, and spectres are things that are seen. Before they could mean anything to anyone they…
John Dee's Conversations with Angels
Languages of Witchcraft
Different conceptions of the world and of reality have made witchcraft possible in some societies and impossible in others. How did the people of early modern Europe experience it and what was its place in their culture? The new essays in this collection illustrate the latest trends in witchcraft research and in cultural history in general. After three decades in which the social analysis of witchcraft accusations has dominated the subject, they …
Possession, Exorcism, and History
Women and Witchcraft
This chapter discusses why (from a particular male cultural perspective) witches were conceived to be women. For witches and highly deviant women were culturally constructed and, thus, made intelligible in terms of the same conceptual relations. In consequence, the witch became one of Beidelman's ‘subtle epigrams’ — a powerful symbolic vehicle capable of evoking the negative poles of many other hierarchically paired opposites in a particular clas…
The Charisma of Office
Political sociology's most famous analysis of the grounds on which the exercise of authority might be validly defended was offered by Max Weber. He distinguished three forms of legitimate domination rational, traditional, and charismatic — each resting on quite different credentials. Charismatic authority stemmed from the exceptional qualities of heroism, religiosity, wisdom (or whatever), of specific individuals supremely ‘gifted by grace’. Disd…
Thinking with Demons
Dr Clark offers an interpretation of the witchcraft beliefs of European intellectuals of the period, based on their publication in the field of demonology. This work will increase our understanding of the cultural history of early modern Europe

Religion and Magic in Elizabethan Wales
Not much is known about Robert Holland, the only Renaissance demonologist to venture into print in the Welsh language. He was born in 1557 at Conway, the third son of a gentleman, and went eventually to Cambridge and into the Church of England. He took his B.A. at Magdalene in 1577–8, was ordained at Ely two years later and spent the 1580s preaching and schoolmastering in East Anglia. In 1591 he became rector of a crown living at Prendergast, nea…

Bacon's Henry VII
Both Acton and Collingwood believed that until the later nineteenth century studies were in a position similar to that of the natural sciences before Galileo. In fact, this analogy between a nineteenth-century historical revolution and the seventeenth-century scientific revolution extends beyond the development of the discipline itself to the criteria by which it still tends to judge its own past. Just as physics and astronomy before Galileo and …
