About Charles Gunnoe
Teaching and Research Interests
My chief research interests lie in early modern central European history. I have done most of my work in the religious and political history of Southwestern Germany in the late sixteenth century. I have also contributed to the history of early modern science, in particular the reception of the ideas of Paracelsus, the great Swiss-German medical iconoclast. I maintain an active interest in the study of witch-hunting in the early modern period, especially on the demonological ideas that made this tragedy possible. In addition to offering surveys of world history, I teach the intermediate level series of European history courses (e.g., HY 264 Renaissance & Reformation). I offer advanced courses in German history and a seminar in the history of witchcraft. I am currently working on a book on Thomas Erastus and the Reformation of the Electoral Palatinate.
