This is a highly original study of demon possession and the ritual of exorcism, both of
which were rife in early modern times, and which reached epidemic proportions in
France.
Catholics at the time believed that the devil was everywhere present, in the rise of the
heretics, in the activities of witches, and even in the bodies of pious young women. The
rite of exorcism was intended to heal the possessed and show the power of the Church—
but it generated as many problems as it resolved. Possessed women endured frequently
violent exorcisms, exorcists were suspected of conjuring devils, and possession itself
came to be seen as a form of holiness, elevating several women to the status of living
saints.
Looking towards the present day, the book also argues that early modern conflicts
over the devil still carry an unexpected force and significance for Western Christianity.
