In the first edition of the Bancroft Prize-winning Entertaining
Satan, John Putnam Demos presented an entirely new perspective on
American witchcraft. By investigating the surviving historical
documents of over a hundred actual witchcraft cases, he vividly
recreated the world of New England during the witchcraft trials and
brought to light fascinating information on the role of witchcraft
in early American culture. Now Demos has revisited his original
work and updated it to illustrate why these early Americans'
strange views on witchcraft still matter to us today. He provides a
new preface that puts forth a broader overview of witchcraft and
looks at its place around the world--from ancient times right up to
the present.
