WITCHCRAFT READER

This book and information is updated daily and is available now to order.
Helpful insights and convenient material for students at all levels
Darren Oldridge

From the editor: This fascinating collection offers a selection of the best historical writing on witchcraft, exploring how belief in witchcraft began, and the social and cultural context in which this belief flourished. A whole range of historical perspectives is collected here, including recent research on the role of gender in witch trials, ideas about the devil and demonic possession, and reasons for the decline of witch trials.

Notions of witchcraft have haunted and fascinated the human mind for centuries. At the height of witchcraft persecutions in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe, some 50,000 people were executed. They were accused of acts including murder, cannibalism, black magic, and Devil worshipping.

The major themes and debates in the study of witchcraft are brought together in a general introduction, which places the extracts in a critical context. Bringing together a wide range of important work in a single, accessible volume, The Witchcraft Reader is essential reading for anyone intrigued by this complex and fascinating subject. -Darren Oldridge is Lecturer in History at University College Worcester.
