The Civil War, the Restoration, and the Glorious Revolution in
England laid the institutional and intellectual foundations of the
modern understanding of liberty, of which we are heirs and
beneficiaries. The Crisis of the Seventeenth Century uncovers new
pathways to understanding this seminal time. Neither Catholic nor
Protestant emerges unscathed from the examination to which
Trevor-Roper subjects the era in which, from political and
religious causes, the identification and extirpation of witches was
a central event. Trevor-Roper points out that "In England the most
active phase of witch-hunting coincided with times of Puritan
pressure -- the reign of Queen Elizabeth and the period of the
civil wars -- and some very fanciful theories have been built on
this coincidence. But...the persecution of witches in England was
trivial compared with the experience of the Continent and of
Scotland. Therefore...[one must examine] the craze as a whole,
throughout Europe, and [seek] to relate its rise, frequency, and
decline to the general intellectual and social movements of the
time...".
