For example, in 17th-century Finland it was accepted that a young girl of 12 talked with angels, but an old woman of 50 was sentenced of witchcraft and a farmhand of 25 was deemed delusional when they all said they had met with divine spirits: experience was guided by identity and social status, but also by power relationships and cultural scripts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eExpressed Experience in Early Modern Northern Europe\u003c\/i\u003e explores different ways of communicating and curating experience. The first part of the book explores how experiences were spoken and written of in lower court records, while the second part looks at visual communication in church murals. The book goes on to examine spatial settings of experience in landscapes and public buildings, such as churches and public roads or private houses. The fourth part explores embodied experience and corporeality. Toivo draws all this together in a conclusion which reflects on how experience was curated through a combination of communication means.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
