Witchcraft, the Devil, and Emotions in Early Modern England de Charlotte-Rose Millar

Witchcraft, the Devil, and Emotions in Early Modern England: Routledge Research in Early Modern History

Autor Charlotte-Rose Millar
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 mai 2019
This book represents the first systematic study of the role of the Devil in English witchcraft pamphlets for the entire period of state-sanctioned witchcraft prosecutions (1563-1735). It provides a rereading of English witchcraft, one which moves away from an older historiography which underplays the role of the Devil in English witchcraft and instead highlights the crucial role that the Devil, often in the form of a familiar spirit, took in English witchcraft belief. One of the key ways in which this book explores the role of the Devil is through emotions. Stories of witches were made up of a complex web of emotionally implicated accusers, victims, witnesses, and supposed perpetrators. They reveal a range of emotional experiences that do not just stem from malefic witchcraft but also, and primarily, from a witch’s links with the Devil. This book, then, has two main objectives. First, to suggest that English witchcraft pamphlets challenge our understanding of English witchcraft as a predominantly non-diabolical crime, and second, to highlight how witchcraft narratives emphasized emotions as the primary motivation for witchcraft acts and accusations.

Recenzii

"In this fascinating and incisive re-reading of cheap printed sources, Charlotte-Rose Millar restores two vital elements to a conception of witchcraft that early modern people understood implicitly, but which many historians either overlook or underplay. The first of these is the devil, the second is emotion. This book’s importance lies mainly in its compelling portrayal of witchcraft accusations as critical moments when rage and fear and envy boiled over, and its expert analysis of how emotion fused with suspicion and belief to give physical shape and substance to the witch. Seen thus, witches emerge as enemies to the community who were not merely malicious and magical but in intimate and deadly league with Satan."
- Professor Malcolm Gaskill, The University of East Anglia
"Charlotte-Rose Millar's insightful study of 66 pamphlets spread over almost 200 years offers a revisionist reading of these fascinating and vivid accounts. This includes a greater focus on diabolism and on newly-emergent topics such as animal familiars and emotional history. Millar's broad and detailed survey demonstrates both continuities and changes across the period, and deepens understanding of the pamphlets' context and major themes because of its long historical reach. The book includes a very useful bibliography and it is beautifully illustrated with images from the pamphlets."
- Professor Marion Gibson, The University of Exeter
"Charlotte-Rose Millar's Witchcraft, the Devil, and Emotions in Early Modern England is an original, and important contribution to English witchcraft studies. This is the first book to offer an exhaustive analysis of English witchcraft pamphlets, an unusually rich source. She uses these pamphlets to emphasise the diabolic aspects of English witchcraft beliefs, and offers exciting new insights into such topics as sex with the devil, the role of the familiar, and the place of witchcraft accusations in the history of the emotions."
- Professor James Sharpe, The University of York
"Millar focuses on important sources which help us to reconstruct popular depictions of witchcraft, while other scholars have chosen to deal with learned sources, such as demonological treatises or trials records, where the documents are manipulated by judges. Millar’s book is a successful attempt to investigate a very complex historical (and historiographical) issue, highlighting an important source – witchcraft pamphlets over a long period – which emphasise continuity and change in English witchcraft beliefs and the central role of the Devil."
- Michaela Valente, Emotions: History, Culture, Society, 2018
