The Devils of Loudun by Aldous Huxley

4.25

Heady and dense, but fascinating look at mass delirium, through the lens of a 17th century convent of "possessed" nuns. Huxley presents the historical facts of the event and a thoughtful analysis through the eyes of both a contemporary and modern person. I'd love to know what he would have thought about the mass psychosis the internet has wrought.
