Description

Explore the supernatural history of Medieval England with Fairy Encounters in Medieval England: Landscape, Folklore and the Supernatural. This scholarly work from University of Exeter Press collects testimony from eight hundred years of witnesses who experienced the supernatural breaking into their daily lives. Through a close reading of miracle collections, chronicles, saints' lives, and sermons, the book reveals how people relied on first-hand vernacular voices. Even when transcribed into Latin by clergymen, these original perspectives remained visible. The text examines how spirits manifested as fairies, revenants, local saints, or fiends. Readers will discover how these beings appeared in common stock types, including goblins, lovers, hunters, pygmies, and dogs. This book provides a deep look into the folklore and popular beliefs that shaped the medieval landscape.
