The Blasphemies of Thomas Aikenhead: Boundaries of Belief on the Eve of the Enlightenment
Michael F. Graham
Thomas Aikenhead was an Edinburgh University student and, in 1697, the last person executed for blasphemy in Britain. This examination of the media event that was his trial opens a window onto the clash of intellects and cultures that took place in late seventeenth-century Scotland as it stood in transition between Reformation and Enlightenment.
