The late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries were undoubtedly a period of transition and redefinition of what constituted the supernatural, at the interface between folk belief and the philosophies of the learned. For the latter the eradication of such beliefs equated with progress and civilization but for others, such as the devout, witch belief was a matter of faith, such that fear and dread of witches and their craft lasted well beyond the era of the major witch-hunts. This study seeks to illuminate the distinctiveness of the Scottish experience, to assess the impact of enlightenment thought upon witch belief, and to understandhow these beliefs operated across all levels of Scottish society.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 关键词 | Witchcraft; Folk Belief; Scottish History; Scottish Enlightenment; Cultural History; cultural history; enl | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/9781137313249 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-59313-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-31324-9Series ISSN 2731-5630 Series E-ISSN 2731-5649 | | issn_series | 2731-5630 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
