The War on Witchcraft by Jan Machielsen

How did nineteenth-century historians construct the popular understanding of witchcraft as representing the irrational past antithetical to the enlightened present? In particular the contributions by two American historians, Andrew Dickson White (1832-1918) and George Lincoln Burr (1857-1938).
'.. Masculinity emerges as an important theme. Machielsen shows that White and Burr both saw history as a story of Great Men, and actively valued masculine characteristics. I hope that this book will be taken up as a contribution to the history of nineteenth-century masculinity.' Julian Goodare, Folklore
