Description

Explore a fascinating chapter of sixteenth-century history with The English Exorcist. This Routledge publication examines the life of John Darrell, an English clergyman who faced serious charges before the High Commission at Lambeth Palace in 1598. Accused of fraud and counterfeiting demonic possession, Darrell's story provides a deep look into the religious tensions of the era. As a successful exorcist, Darrell became a prominent figure in the public eye and a symbol of Puritan spirituality. His legal battles served as a flashpoint for ecclesiastical persecution during the late sixteenth century. This book offers a detailed account of how his actions and the subsequent legal proceedings helped shape early modern English Protestant demonology. It is an essential read for those interested in the history of Great Britain, religious studies, and the evolution of spiritual practices in England.
