Joseph Glanvill and Psychical Research in the 17th Century is a book written by H. Stanley Redgrove that explores the life and work of Joseph Glanvill, a prominent figure in the field of psychical research during the 17th century. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Glanvill's contributions to the study of paranormal phenomena, including his investigations into witchcraft, ghosts, and other supernatural occurrences. Redgrove delves into Glanvill's background, examining his upbringing, education, and career as a writer and theologian. He also explores Glanvill's involvement with the Royal Society, a prestigious scientific organization that played a key role in the development of early modern science. The book goes on to examine Glanvill's major works, including his influential treatise on witchcraft, Saducismus Triumphatus, and his later writings on ghosts and apparitions. Redgrove provides a detailed analysis of Glanvill's arguments and methods, highlighting his use of empirical evidence and logical reasoning to support his claims. Overall, Joseph Glanvill and Psychical Research in the 17th Century offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of early modern psychical research, as well as the life and work of one of its most important figures. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science, the paranormal, or the intersection of the two.1921. There is no century, perhaps, in English history that exhibits to our sight so many contrasts as does the 17th. Every age, no doubt, is a transition age, and every age exhibits change; but the 17th century may, in a very special sense, be characterized as a time of flux. It was an age of fervent religious enthusiasm, as also an age of licentiousness and indifference to religion. It was an age of gross superstition, as also an age which the foundations of modern scientific knowledge were laid.
