Bøger af Stuart (Professor of History Clark

Stuart Clarke examines the history of the senses in early modern Europe, a time when the nature and reliability of human vision was much debated. Was seeing really believing? Illustrating how this was woven into contemporary works such as Macbeth, Clarke exposes contemporary ideas on the relationship between the real and the virtual.

Presents a work of fundamental importance for our understanding of the intellectual and cultural history of early modern Europe. The author offers an interpretation of the witchcraft beliefs of European intellectuals between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries, based on their publications in the field of demonology.
