Callard focuses on ancien regime France, to explore how the notion of ghosts and the supernatural played a part in France's early modern past, in such disparate areas as politics, law, natural philosophy, and the cultural and emotional history of everyday life UR - https://go.openathens.net/redirector/lords.parliament.uk?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198849476.001.0001 ER -
