THE subject of which this brochure claims to be a rather copious index has attracted much attention in all ages of literary inquiry, and, while it has sometimes provoked the wit and humor of the satirist, it has often engaged also the grave and earnest considera tion of scholars and divines. The growth of this interest has been pari passu with the development of the spirit of philosophical inquiry. • With'the exception of Graesse's "Bibliotheca Magica," published in 1843, no compre hensive summary of the literature of DIABOLISM has been issued —certainly none has been offered for sale ; and we hope it is not presumption therefore to claim for this modest attempt in that direction whatever merit belongs here to originality. To commend our labor to the approval of the bibliopolist, we have pursued a strictly chronological method of development, and divided the subject into two distinct parts, the one embracing its humorous aspects, and the other comprising the serious discussions and treatises which it has originated from the earliest times to the present. The richness and value of the collection may be best illustrated by the mention of a few of the more prominent works. And first we name the extraordinary work of the Eomanists —their magnum opus on the subject —the MALLEUS MALEPICAEUM, the great prize to pos sess. Also, Mengus, FLAGELLUM D-SIMONUM ; Pererius, DE MAGIA; Delrio, DisQuisrno MAGICABUM ; Guaccius, COMPENDIUM MALEFICBIUM ; Bodin, DEMONOMANIA ; Boguet, Dis- COTJBS DBS SOBCIEBS ; Node, EBREUB EXECRABLE DBS MALEFICIEBS ; Wierus, DE PBESTIGUS, etc., etc. Besides these, we must note the great outspoken work of the honest Dutch man, Bekker's LE MONDE ENCHANTE ; the learned work of the Frenchman, Oollin de Plancy's DICTIONNAIRE INFEBNAL ; the exhaustive works of the laborious German, Horst's ZAUBEB BIBLIOTHEK, and the recent classical work of Dr. Roskoff ; of Englishmen, we must not forget the quaint and curious Bart. Glanvil, the dark deeds of Dr. Dee, the bold denunciations of Reg. Scot, the courageous Webster, the moral Yeron, the lucid Mason, " the blasphemies of the Devil's Chaplain" (the Rev. Robert Taylor), and the learned essay of that distinguished lady," Frances Power Cobbe. And of our own countrymen, the good works of Macrae, Read, Conway, Cranch, and Blauvelt, down to the laughable and enjoy able illustrated diableries of George and Robert Cruikshank, Landseer, Seymour, and others, as well as the amazingly humorous and sprightly works of the French. Nor have we omitted the Oriental Nations, here represented by Upham (Buddhist), Callaway (Cingalese), Lenormant (Chaldsean Egyptian), etc., for our aim has been, as near as possible, to obtain the best works of each country on the subject. We believe that the introduction of many important books treating only incidentally of THE DEVIL cannot fail to enhance the value of the collection. The importance of this curious and extensive department of literary history seemed to justify and even to demand such illustration as could be conveniently and fitly supplied in the form of notes and quotations ; and the group of diabolislic proverbs and aphorisms with which it is accompanied will serve at least to amuse the reader.

Y., Oct. 8, 1797; graduated at Yale College in 1817, and was ordained deacon in 1819. His first ministerial labor was given to Grace Church, New York, of which he was in charge during the vacancy of the rectorship which preceded that of the Rev. Dr. Wainwright. He then officiated for a short time in the newly- organized parish of St. Thomas’s, Mamaroneck. Having been advanced to the priesthood on March 6, 1822, in Trinity Church, New York, he removed to the city of Philadelphia, where he became an assistant minister of the united churches of Christ Church, St. Peter’s, and St. James’s, of which bishop White was then rector. In 1828 he was appointed Provost of the University of Pennsylvania. In 1833 he became assistant minister of St. Peter’s Church of Philadelphia, and in 1837 rector. When the diocese of New York was divided in 1838, Dr. Delancey was elected the first bishop of the new diocese of Western New York.

Thibodeaux A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in English Middle Tennessee State University May 2019 Thesis Committee: Dr. Rebecca King, Thesis Director Dr. Martha Hixon, Reader Soli Deo gloria ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I want to first thank my thesis director, Dr. Rebecca King, the first person who showed genuine interest in my project. Her encouragement kept me going when I became discouraged and her guidance has made me a better writer. I would also like to thank Dr. Martha Hixon, the person who inspired my scholarly interest in fairy tales. Thank you, Rima and Alexis. You were first colleagues and now you are friends. Thank you to my mother and father who always thought I could do whatever I put my mind to. Mom, thank you for taking such good care of my kids. My kids, those who are already adults and those who are still children, have suffered long and sometimes patiently while Mom was working. I love all of you. I thank my husband David, without whom I would not have attended much less succeeded in graduate school. He insisted that I could do it, and he encouraged me to accept the assistantship. He even learned to cook and wash a few dishes through the whole process. Thank you, Love, for everything. Most of all I want to thank my God who, for some reason, has helped me to succeed greatly while I contributed so little.

I myself have suffered grievously in that way.’ (James Hogg, The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner 132) The above quotes are taken from two canonical works in Scottish Gothic, both of which concern themselves with notions of doubling – of the ‘other’ within. This theme of self-haunting has come to be definitive of Scottish Gothic. Significantly, while these foundational texts were written in the nineteenth century, there has been a recent resurgence of the Gothic in Scotland in the last thirty-six years.

  • Le Sujet De L'acteur
    GEORGI KAPRIEV, MARTIN ROUSSEL AND IVAN TCHALAKOV (EDS.) LE SUJET DE L’ACTEUR An Anthropological Outlook on Actor-Network Theory MORPHOMATA In the past few years, the Actor-Network Theory of French philosopher and sociologist Bruno Latour has become a hotly debated topic in the humanities. From a philosophical perspective, his theory of things keeps being reevaluated: is it possible for ‘Human and Non- Human Actors’ (Latour) to be analyzed as equally im- portant actors? Does Latour’s theory of a simultaneous ‘agency’ of things and concepts indeed move beyond a subject-object relation? If it does, how far does it in fact go? Is it possible to develop a common new ontology by moving away from the notion of substance, and instead reducing any kind of entities to what they reveal in the course of their (inter)action? The contributions to Le Sujet de l’Acteur are looking for interferences between the idea of ‘agency’ and cultural dynamics. How can we relate questions of (social) action with those of cultural manifestations? Focusing on ques- tions of symmetry or dissymmetry between the world of ‘things’ and ‘human beings,’ the volume includes contributions from the fields of social studies, literary studies, and philosophy. Although the contents are cat- egorized in systematic and historical aspects, all contri- butions draw on the importance of case studies for the theoretical framework, either starting with systematic questions that are then answered exemplary, or starting from historical cases as well as theoretical options.
