Genre : Literature

Description

A fascinating insight into why people believed in witchcraft (and maybe still do!)
Professor Darren Oldridge is a specialist in sixteenth and seventeenth-century religious history. His interests include witchcraft and the Devil, the supernatural, and the religious context of the English Civil Wars. A recurring theme of his work is the rationality underpinning apparently strange beliefs.
More broadly, he is interested in the relationship between poetry and film and the past.
Publications include:
Strange Histories (Routledge: 2nd edition 2017)
The Supernatural in Tudor and Stuart England (Routledge: 2016)
The Devil: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford University Press: 2012)
Fairies and the Devil in Early Modern England, The Seventeenth Century, Vol. 31, No. 1, March 2016
Light from Darkness: The Problem of Evil in Early Modern England, The Seventeenth Century, Vol. 27, No. 4, December 2012
