About this title: A distinguished scholar explores the origins and evolution of witchcraft and the witch-hunt. Who were the witches? What were their practices? Why, exactly were they feared? Robin Briggs goes further than simply looking at the witch persecutions. Based on extensive archival research, he focuses on the society in which perceived witchcraft existed and illuminates a period darkened by myth and misinformation.
