For the Stephen King crowd, Candlemas Eve is a fast-paced, haunting novel of supernatural horror and suspense that takes readers from the bustle of New York City to the solitude of a tiny New England town, where a musician is haunted by the spurned mistress of his long-dead ancestor.
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.
Includes proceedings of the annual general meetings of the Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Society.
