Supernatural in Tudor and Stuart England, reflects on the boundaries between the natural and otherworldly in early modern England, as they were understood by the people of that time. The book puts supernatural beliefs and events in the context of the English Reformation, to show how early modern humans to respond to the invisible world of spirits and magic effects. It outlines the conceptual foundations of early modern encounters with the supernatural, and shows how the occult beliefs have penetrated almost every aspect of life. Darren Oldridge said many of the spiritual forces that pervaded the early modern England: the immanent God, which is sometimes expressed in terms of # 8216; signs and wonders # 8217; and a variety of smaller inhabitants of the spirit world, including ghosts, goblins, demons and angels. He explores the human attempts to understand, adapt and harness these forces with the help of magic and sorcery, as well as the role of the supernatural in the beginning of modern science. This book provides a concise and accessible synthesis of refined extraordinary scholarship in Tudor and Stuart England. It will be essential reading for students of early modern England, religion, witchcraft and the supernatural.
