The history of witchcraft and sorcery has attracted a great deal of
interest and debate, but until now studies have been largely from
the Anglo-Saxon perspective. This book shows how that approach has
blurred our understanding and definition of the issues involved,
and sheds new light on the history of witchcraft in England. What
had thus far been seen as peculiar to England is here shown to be
characteristic of much of northern Europe. Taking into account
major new developments in the historiography of witchcraft--in
methodology, and in the chronological and geographical scope of the
studies--the authors explore the relationship between witchcraft,
law, and theology; the origins and nature of the witch's sabbath;
the sociology and criminology of witch-hunting; and the comparative
approach to European witchcraft. An impressive amount of archival
work by all of the contributors has produced an indispensable guide
to the study of witchcraft, of interest not only to historians, but
to anthropologists, criminologists, psychologists, and
sociologists.
