The Enlightenment, considered an age of rationalism, is not normally associated with miracles. However, this intriguing study presents accounts of inscrutable miracles that occurred to ordinary worshippers in early modern England. It considers the reactions of intellectuals, scientists and physicians to these miraculous events, exploring the relations between popular and elite culture at that time and showing the religious practice of ordinary people to be as crucial to the development of Enlightenment thought as philosophial and theological scholarship.
