Description

Explore the dark history of superstition and law with the second edition of Witchcraft in Early Modern England. Published by Routledge as part of the Seminar Studies series, this book offers a detailed look at the era between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries when witchcraft was a capital crime. This text examines the real-world impact of witch panics and the legal persecution that followed. It looks at how elite attitudes shaped the perception of magic and how community tensions led to accusations against neighbors. Readers will learn how the English legal system managed these high-stakes cases and follow the complex process of how belief in witchcraft eventually declined. Whether you are a student of history or a reader interested in the social dynamics of Great Britain, this revised edition provides a clear introduction to the legal and social realities of early modern English life.
