The Possession of Loudun by Michel de Certeau

3.0

I read this book for my "history of religions" class.

Socially speaking, this book is really interesting and studied all the protagonists of the possession, not only the possessed. It focuses mainly on the sources so you can see how people perceived this possession. However, historically speaking, it wasn't enough. I don't feel like I've understood this event.
