The year 1645 saw the biggest witch-hunt in English history. Faced
by the extreme challenges of religious dissent, poverty, sickness
and the threat of foreign invasion, Ipswich became an ideological
battlefield during the English Civil Wars. Here Puritanism
struggled against Catholic sensibilities, the Devil loomed at the
door of every English home, and the age of the witchfinder was
born. This book focuses on witchcraft in Ipswich and the most
extreme punishment ever given to an English witch, and challenges
some stereotypes of the period: reflecting on the growth in Puritan
sects, gender politics, the exploitation of the poor, the
importance of beliefs in the occult and the rise of English power
in the New World.
