Description

"The Enlightenment, considered an age of rationalism, is not normally associated with miracles. In this book, however, Jane Shaw presents accounts of inscrutable miracles that occurred to ordinary worshippers in early modern England. She considers the reactions of intellectuals, scientists and physicians to these miraculous events, and through them explores the relations between popular and elite culture of the time."--BOOK JACKET.
