Description
Printed under the pseudonym ‘Robert Burton’ in 1688, The Kingdom of Darkness: or, the history of daemons, spectres, witches, apparitions, possessions, disturbances and other supernatural delusions and malicious impostures of the Devil, was one of the many texts printed and sold by Nathaniel Crouch in the late-seventeenth century. Little is known of Crouch’s life but it appears that he was a shrewd businessman, stocking a huge variety of books on various historical subjects which ranged from recent history and biographies to sensationalist literature on witchcraft and supernatural phenomena. Though this type of book was denounced by authors such as Alexander Pope for their populist nature and their use of many different sources, they were reprinted many times throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
This book is primarily known for it woodcut art, much of which has been used for centuries in other books on witchcraft.
This is a leather-bound facsimile of the 1688 edition.
