Witchcraft in Early Modern England is a fascinating introduction to the history of witches and witchcraft. This book charts the witch panics of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the legal persecution of witches that followed and explores the modern historiographical debate.

Supported by a range of compelling primary documents, this book is essential reading for all students of the history of witchcraft.
