商品簡介
Author Peter Dendle is a scholar in literary representations of the demonic. In this scholarly work, he looks at descriptions of demon possession and exorcism in Anglo-Saxon English primary sources such as heroic literature, saints’ lives, medical literature, and liturgy. While he seeks to explain the occurrences as medical and psychiatric conditions, he also examines the details of the concept of demonic possession, explaining how demons were believed to enter, affect, and leave the body.
