Based on twenty-seven years of original archival research,
including the discovery of previously unknown documents, this
day-by-day narrative of the hysteria that swept through Salem
Village in 1692 and 1693 reveals new connections behind the events,
and shows how rapidly a community can descend into bloodthirsty
madness. Roach opens her work with chapters on the history of the
Puritan colonies of New England, and explains how these people
regarded the metaphysical and the supernatural. The account of the
days from January 1692 to March 1693 keeps in order the large cast
of characters, places events in their correct contexts, and
occasionally contradicts earlier assumptions about the gruesome
events. The last chapter discusses the remarkable impact of the
events, pointing out how the 300th anniversary of the trials made
headlines in Japan and Australia.
