Unclean Spirits

"Brilliant and penetrating." ~London Review of Books

"A brilliant little book, the implications of which are far-reaching." ~Lawrence Stone, New York Review of Books

"A wonderful little book. . . . Not only does it shed light on the topics of possession and exorcism but also larger subjects, such as witchcraft, magic, and the religiously oriented society of the early modern period, are illuminated as well." ~American Historical Review
