Palgrave Advances in Witchcraft Historiography by J Barry
This is the first book to offer a detailed modern survey of Witchcraft historiography. By using a broad chronological structure, from contemporary responses through to modern day, the book draws on contributions from a range of leading experts in the field to provide a much-needed overview of the area.'Eleven distinguished scholars have contributed to this volume of essays, each surveying the key works that exemplify a particular way of approaching the multi-faceted problem of interpreting the history of witchcraft and witch trials..provides excellent signposts through a very tangled forest.' -Jacqueline Simpson, Folklore
