Sharpe, a great historian on the subject. James Sharpe examines why witch hunts occured in early modern England, and looks at contemporary views of witchcraft. James Sharpe provides an overview of the current arguments and schools of thought regarding the period. He also addresses the gender dimensions of the witch persecutions since the majority of people accused of witchcraft in England were women. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the subject. It's a great introduction into the study of early modern english witchcraft trials.

Witchcraft in Early Modern England provides a fascinating introduction to the history of witches and witchcraft in England from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. Witchcraft was a crime punishable by death in England during this period and this book charts the witch panics and legal persecution of witches that followed, exploring topics such as elite attitudes to witchcraft in England, the role of pressures and tensions within the community in accusations of witchcraft, the way in which the legal system dealt with witchcraft cases, and the complex decline of belief in witchcraft. Revised and updated, this new edition explores the modern historiographical debate surrounding this subject and incorporates recent findings and interpretations of historians in the field, bringing it right up-to-date and in particular offering an extended treatment of the difficult issues surrounding gender and witchcraft. Supported by a range of compelling primary documents, this book is essential reading for all students of the history of witchcraft. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
