The 16 pamphlets collected here describe 15 English witchcraft
cases in detail, vividly recreating events to give the reader the
illusion of actually being present at witchcraft accusations,
trials and hangings. But how much are we, as readers, victims of
literary manipulation by the authors of these texts, and by
accusers, magistrates and witches themselves? The pamphlets' texts
are presented in an annotated format, so as to allow the reader to
decide. Some of the pamphlets collected here appear in print for
the first time in three centuries, whilst others are newly edited
to give a clearer picture of sources, generic developments in
writing about witchcraft, the chronologies of cases, and the
biographies of the people who are trying to tell us their stories.
The book will be of use to anyone interested in witchcraft,
cultural history or literature. It combines original spelling
editions of popular texts with scholarly annotation, and there are
sections on further reading and sources for students as well as an
introduction to each pamphlet.
