Details
by Julian Goodare (Author)
The European Witch-Hunt seeks to understand and explain the phenomenon that saw thousands of people across the continent deliberately tortured and killed in the name of religion and morality, and the motivations behind those that persecuted them. This book looks at witches and witchcraft through the lens of the society in which they existed to demonstrate the system of thought and belief that made the crime of witchcraft possible, and the legal and political structures that upheld those fears. This is the ideal introduction for students exploring the history of witchcraft and the persecution of suspected witches for the first time.
