Description
Once a tool invented by demonologists to hurt and silence their enemies, witch trials have been twisted and transformed over the course of history. This book explores the origins of witch-hunts through some of the most famous trials from the Middle Ages through to the present day – three women were prosecuted under a version of the 1735 Witchcraft Act as recently as 2018. For the fortunate, a witch-hunt is just a metaphor, but, as this book makes clear, witches are truly still on trial.
