Science in an Enchanted World

Best known as the Saducismus triumphatus (1681), Joseph Glanvills book on witchcraft is among the most frequently published from the seventeenth century, and its arguments for the reality of diabolic witchcraft elicited passionate responses from critics and supporters alike. Davies untangles the intricate development of this text and explores how Glanvills roles as theologian, philosopher and advocate for the Royal Society of London converge in its pages. Glanvills broader philosophical method and unique approach to the supernatural provide a case study that enables the exploration of the interaction between the rise of experimental science and changing attitudes to witchcraft.

Dr Julie Davies is a Research Assistant at the ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions at the University of Melbourne.

It gives me great pleasure to acknowledge the people and institutions that supported the research towards this book. During my doctoral candidacy, I was very fortunate to receive the ongoing support of an Australian Postgraduate Award as well as a Lizette Bentwitch Scholarship, awarded by the Faculty of Arts at the University of Melbourne. My archival research was also facilitated by several bursaries from the Melbourne Scholarships Office, the British Society for the History of Science, and the Australian and New Zealand Association for Medieval and Early Modern Studies, as well as a Margaret Rumbold Bursary awarded by the Australian Federation of University Women, Victoria. The Herzog August Bibliothek, Wolfenbttel also provided administrative and travel support for which I am most grateful.

The Duke of Beaufort and several institutions have been especially generous in the sharing of knowledge and resources for this work and I would like to offer special thanks to the staff at the following organisations: Natural History MuseumLondon, British Library, Kent State University Library, University of Bristol, Gttingen State and University Library, Pictura Paedagogica Online, Cambridge University Library, Dr Williamss Library, Wellcome Collection, and the Royal College of Physicians. I also appreciate being granted access to collections at the following institutions: Bodleian Library, Herzog August Bibliothek, Herzogin Anna Amelia Bibliothek, Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Dorset History Centre, Warburg Institute, Worcester Cathedral Library, Lambeth Palace Library, Plymouth and West Devon Record Office, Devon Record Office, Bath Record Office, National Archives at Kew, Lincoln College, Corpus Christi College in Oxford, and the Royal Society of London.

I would also like to thank several people who graciously discussed particular elements of this research with me, providing advice, encouragement, perspective, and references: Sir Keith Thomas, Alexandra Walsham, Peter Wallis, Sarah Hutton, Peter Elmer, Jonathan Barry, Philip Beeley, Charles Wolfe, Stephen Gaukroger, Andreas Corcoran, Markus Meumann, Juergen Beyer, Peter Morton, Mark Spencer, Peter Sherlock, Megan Cassidy-Welch, Kristian Camilleri, Louise Hitchcock, Mark Cleary, Leigh Penman, Jenny Spinks, Matthew Champion, and Charlotte Smith. I am particularly grateful to Constance Blackwell, Lyndal Roper, Michael Hunter and Anna-Marie Roos, for their invaluable advice and support. To my thesis examiners Brian Levack and Stephen Clucas, sincerest thanks for your generous feedback and ongoing encouragement. Thank you also to Max Novick and the staff at Routledge who kindly and diligently facilitated the publication of this monograph and Simon Davies for his skilful compilation of the index.

I will forever cherish the friendships that have supported me personally and intellectually through this journey. My heartfelt thanks to Michael Pickering, Emily Fitzgerald, Erik Ropers, Rebecca Sanders and my treasured mother Jennifer.

I am indebted to Keith Hutchison for his always honest and meticulous attention to detail, and for teaching the subject in which I first encountered the work of a certain Joseph Glanvill.

I am eternally grateful for having the opportunity to work with Gerhard Wiesenfeldt, whose astounding intellect and depth of knowledge has helped broaden my context and refine my argument beyond what I had ever hoped was possible.
