Description

Explore a rare look into seventeenth-century spiritual life with this scholarly work from Routledge. This book presents a set of previously unpublished papers focused on the bewitchment, possession, and exorcism of two nuns living in an English convent in the Spanish Netherlands. Through the extensive personal writings left behind by these two women, readers gain access to unprecedented details regarding their devotional lives and spiritual states. These accounts cover the periods before, during, and after their experiences with exorcism, providing a deep look into their private worlds. Unlike many other historical accounts of this nature, these women wrote these records for themselves. For the first time in 350 years, this volume allows their individual voices and silences to be heard. It is a significant resource for those studying historical biography, religious history, and the social dynamics of seventeenth-century European convents.
