Description
Explore the dark and magico-religious history of eighteenth-century Denmark with The Great Nightmen Conspiracy. This microhistory examines the lives of the nightmen, a group of workers who handled carcasses and assisted with executions. Because of their essential but grim tasks, these individuals faced intense social contempt and were deeply feared due to the perceived dark and magical forces linked to their occupation. The narrative centers on a specific historical event: the discovery of a dead peasant at the edge of the fjord on 4 December 1734. This event led to the arrest of two nightmen, Mikkel and Hans, in the market town of Kalundborg in Zealand. Through their court interrogation, this book provides a window into the underworld and the social perceptions of the eighteenth-century Danish landscape.
