WITCH: A HISTORY OF FEAR FROM ANCIENT TIMES/ PRESENT (YALE)

This book traces witchcraft from the ancient world to the early-modern, setting the notorious European witch trials in the widest and deepest possible perspective. The author combines Anglo-American and continental scholarly approaches to examine attitudes on witchcraft and the treatment of suspected witches across the world, including in Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Australia, and North and South America, and from ancient pagan times to current interpretations.
