Richard Raiswell is Associate Professor of History at the University of Prince Edward Island, a Fellow at the Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies (Toronto), a member of the Executive Committee of Scientiae: Disciplines of Knowing in the Early Modern World, and a founding editor of the journal Preternature (Penn State). His research is concerned with questions about the construction and assimilation of knowledge in the late medieval and early modern periods, especially responses to the new empiricism in the fields of demonology and geography. Recent work includes Knowing Demons, Knowing Spirits (forthcoming with Michelle Brock and David Winter), "Edward Terry and the Calvinist Geography of India," in Études anglaises and The Devil in Society in Premodern Europe (with Peter Dendle). He is currently working on a primary source reader on medieval demonology for the University of Toronto's Readings in Medieval Civilizations and Cultures series.
