"Elizabethan Demonology: An Essay Illustrating the Belief in the Existence of Devils and Their Powers as Generally Held at the Reformation and Immediately After; with Special Reference to Shakespeare" By Thomas Alfred Spaulding.
In this book, Thomas Alfred Spaulding explores the belief in the existence of devils and their powers in the Elizabethan era. He examines this phenomenon in the context of the Reformation and its aftermath, focusing on William Shakespeare's particular approach to the subject.
The author examines in detail the influence of the spiritual climate of that time on the idea of demons and the powers possessed by them. Turning to Shakespeare's most famous works, he reveals how the theme of demonology permeates the work of the great playwright and how it reflects public perceptions of the supernatural.
This book is a valuable resource for understanding the religio-cultural beliefs and folklore of the Elizabethan period and makes an important contribution to enriching the knowledge of the literary heritage and history of demonology."
