Omschrijving
The belief in the reality of demons and the restless dead formed a central facet of the medieval worldview. In this volume, Stephen Gordon explores the ways in which conflicting ideas about the intention and agency of supernatural entities were understood and articulated in different social and literary contexts.
Stephen Gordon graduated with a PhD in medieval literature and archaeology from the University of Manchester, UK, and currently works at Royal Holloway, University of London. He is an interdisciplinary scholar of medieval and early modern supernatural belief and has published widely in his chosen research area.
