This book presents serious accounts of the appearance of angels and demons, sea monsters, dragons, and other fascinating phenomena within European and North American history. It challenges the \"present-centred thinking\" approach by placing these events in their social and cultural context, thus offering a fresh perspective on a world in which dragons, witches, and supernatural creatures were seen as facts rather than fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"947\" data-end=\"1348\"\u003eThe new edition has been fully updated with recent research and includes a new guide to further reading, along with a selection of pictures to bring its themes to life. The book covers a range of case studies, from ghosts to witches to pigs on trial for murder, providing a fascinating insight into the worldview of a vanished era. This makes it essential reading for students of early modern history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROUTLEDGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49885560635696,"sku":"Sarat_9781138830820","price":3510.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/routledge-book-default-title-strange-histories-the-trial-of-the-pig-the-walking-dead-and-other-matters-of-fact-from-the-medieval-and-renaissance-worlds-41104777904432.jpg?v=1775964613","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/strange-histories-the-trial-of-the-pig-the-walking-dead-and-other-matters-of-fact-from-the-medieval-and-renaissance-worlds","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
