The Witch-Hunt in Early Modern Europe by Brian Levack

Between 1450 and 1750, thousands of people were accused, prosecuted and executed for the crime of witchcraft. This book provides an introduction to the subject of witch-craft. It examines why witchcraft prosecutions took place, how many trials and victims there were, and why witch-hunting eventually came to an end, among other things.
