{"product_id":"agnes-bowkers-cat","title":"Agnes Bowker's Cat","description":"\"What a world is this? It is marvelous, it is monstrous! I hear say there is a young woman, born in the town of Harborough, one Bowker, a butcher's daughter, which of late, God wot, is bought to bed of a cat, or have delivered a cat, or, if you will, is the mother of a cat! Oh God!\"\nWilliam Bullein - Dialogue Against the Fever Pestilence (1578)\n\nDavid Cressy examines how the orderly, Protestant, and hierarchical society of post-Reformation England coped with the cultural challenges posed by beliefs and events outside the social norm. Drawing on local texts and narratives he reveals how a series of troubling and unorthodox happenings-bestiality and monstrous births, seduction and abortion, nakedness and cross-dressing, excommunication and irregular burial, iconoclasm and vandalism-disturbed the margins, cut across the grain, and set the authorities on edge.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54254676345176,"sku":"9780192825308","price":43.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780192825308_89d8ceb3-db88-4386-a568-ebe690c20bf1.jpg?v=1782659719","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/agnes-bowkers-cat","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
