 ption: \nOne night in October 1662, Marie Regnouard, the seigneuresse at
  an estate near Québec, freed her servant from a demon’s torments. At thi
 s point, priests and nuns had been trying to end the demonic infestation 
 for many months; finally the efforts of a laywoman succeeded where others
  had failed. These efforts were described in sources from the time as a ki
 nd of “relief” and “deliverance.” Looking beyond such words to the actions
  themselves, we can see a conspicuous resemblance to something else: an e
 xorcism. Marie’s actions reveal the complexities and precarities of New Fr
 ance as a colonial society. The ideals of the colony’s founders were reced
 ing from view, the French settlements were vulnerable to attack by enemie
 s in Europe and North America, and disagreements simmered between civic a
 nd religious leaders about how to respond. Uncertain about the future of N
 ew France, the colonists grew anxious about demonic interference and they
  sought help from both the living and the dead.Mairi Cowan is an Associate
  Professor, teaching stream, in the Department of Historical Studies, U
 niversity of Toronto Mississauga. This presentation draws from her new boo
 k The Possession of Barbe Hallay: Diabolical Arts and Daily Life in Early 
 Canada (McGill-Queen’s UP, 2022).→ To join, use this Zoom link at 4:00 p
