Summary
Without a precise separation between 'science' and 'magic', the line between the natural and supernatural worlds in early modern England was negotiable and porous, and could be used both to bolster and challenge authority. This collection reveals intersecting early modern anxieties in relation to the supernatural, and investigates issues of control and the exercise of power at different levels of society and in various publication contexts - manuscript sources, printed prose texts and the early modern stage.
