Demonic Possession and Exorcism in Early Modern England
This book is exclusively devoted to demonic possession and exorcism in early modern England. It offers modernized versions of the most significant early modern texts on nine cases of demonic possession from the period 1570 to 1650, the key period in English history for demonic possession.

The nine critical introductions which accompany the stories address the different strategic intentions of those who wrote them. The modernized texts and critical introductions are placed within the context of a wide-ranging general Introduction to demonic possession in England across the period 1550 to 1700.

Point of Clarity
Lucy and Becky lead the lives of typical graduate students, with the exception of the incorporeal mage mucking in their affairs. Unknown to the young women, the leaders of the known realms have convened to discuss them, spies have been dispatched to observe them, Lucy's dabbling with magical glyphs commands far more power than she realizes, and while working the late shift at the cafi, Lucy just seated a vampire.

That land is under attack, with two powerful artifacts at stake, and it appears the mysterious mage intends to manipulate the outcome through Lucy. While the mage's allegiance remains in question, be it to the vampire Merrith, to the opportunistic Magnus, or to the desire of power, one thing appears sure-Lucy and Becky are being guided right into the thick of the conflict. What no one realizes is that Lucy and Becky are headed for a Point of Clarity, an opportunity for them to steer events down a path no one has of yet imagined.
