Witchcraft in Early Modern England provides a fascinating
introduction to the history of witches and witchcraft in England
from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. Witchcraft was a
crime punishable by death in England during this period and this
book charts the witch panics and legal persecution of witches that
followed, exploring topics such as elite attitudes to witchcraft in
England, the role of pressures and tensions within the community in
accusations of witchcraft, the way in which the legal system dealt
with witchcraft cases, and the complex decline of belief in
witchcraft. Revised and updated, this new edition explores the
modern historiographical debate surrounding this subject and
incorporates recent findings and interpretations of historians in
the field, bringing it right up-to-date and in particular offering
an extended treatment of the difficult issues surrounding gender
and witchcraft. Supported by a range of compelling primary
documents, this book is essential reading for all students of the
history of witchcraft.
