Format:Paperback
A detailed and quantitative analysis of the witch trials in Essex and comparison with other areas.
A classic book in the field of the history of the witch trials. The author takes a more detailed look at the numbers than is usual for a history book. His anthropological approach to the subject influenced many books after.
The introduction to this second edition is a good critique of the place of this book in the wider study of the history of the witch trials.
