The trial grappled with the question of whether Lorentz was a willing accomplice of the devil or suffering from melancholy as a result of her previous sins. To provide readers with historical context, Morton includes an introduction to the early modern issues of demonic pact, possession, and spiritual melancholy, and as a supplement, a contemporary record of demonic possession of another young woman. \u003cem\u003eThe Bedevilment of Elizabeth Lorentz\u003c\/em\u003e provides excellent insight into the complexities of Protestant attitudes to melancholy and the Devil, and into the circumstances of young women in early modern Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eNotes on the Translation\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: The Devil in the World of Elizabeth Lorentz\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
