This book gives an analytical review of the history of witch-hunt
historiography. So far not much attention has been paid to how the
European witch-hunts have been studied and explained in some 150
years of academic research on the issue. The history of the
approaches and explanations in witch-hunt research fundamentally
contributes not only to our understanding of the bizarre phenomenon
in European history but also contributes to understanding of
cultural as well as academic trends which heavily direct any
research even when scholars are not cognisant of their underlying
premises. How and why the picture of witch-hunts has been changing
in scholarly works and text books is as illuminating an issue as
the proper explanations offered by the research works. Contributors
include: Rune Blix Hagen, Ronald Hutton, Gunnar W. Knutsen,
Marianna G. Muravyeva, Marko Nenonen, Raisa Maria Toivo, Charles
