Bewitched and Bedevilled: A Cognitive Approach to Embodiment in Early English Possession (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781137512246)

Narratives of possession have survived in early English medical and philosophical treatises. Using ideas derived from cognitive science, this study moves through the stages of possession and exorcism to describe how the social, religious, and medical were internalized to create the varied manifestations of demon possession in early modern England.
