La Sorciere, Jules Michelet's celebrated history of witches and
witchcraft from the Middle Ages to the 18th century, is presented
here in English. Originally published by Jules Michelet under the
title `Satanism and Witchcraft', this text seeks to explain the
origins and practices of witchcraft, and how the intermittent
crises regarding witches would emerge in Europe over the centuries.
Demonstrating how witchcraft grew from a mixture of pagan beliefs
and strands of Biblical lore, Michelet creates a compelling
narration, casting the practices as a response to Christianity
which was near-ubiquitous in pre- and post-Renaissance Europe.
Although Michelet's reputation as a historian of the French nation
and the Revolutionary period renders this one of his lesser-known
books, his study remains valuable for its thorough, readable
nature. Well-sourced owing to the author's voracity and resources,
La Sorciere does not flinch from accounting the unusual traditions
and ceremonies of witchery.
