Abstract | Early modern England was a world 'resonating with magical forces'. The dominant, or at least politically established and safeguarded, Church was reformed and taught that the age of miracles had passed, however many English Christians accepted the possibility of the Devil's preternatural intervention in the world and were assured of God's supernatural presence. This volume provides new insights on contemporary understandings of the intersections between the differentiated yet interrelated realms of the supernatural, whether diabolical or sacred, and the secular, opening up a range of different perspectives and contributing to current dialogue in the field by focusing specifically on the issue of power and the porous boundary between the secular and the supernatural in early modern England. |
