In this landmark book, Ronald Hutton traces witchcraft from the ancient world to the early-modern stake. This book sets the notorious European witch trials in the widest and deepest possible perspective and traces the major historiographical developments of witchcraft. Hutton, a renowned expert on ancient, medieval, and modern paganism and witchcraft beliefs, 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. His fresh anthropological and ethnographical approach focuses on cultural inheritance and change while considering shamanism, folk religion, the range of witch trials, and how the fear of witchcraft might be eradicated"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Witchcraft $x History. 650 0 $a Witch hunting $x History. 650 0 $a Witches $x History. 650 7 $a Witch hunting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01747420 650 7 $a Witchcraft $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176327 650 7 $a Witches $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176346 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Folklore & Mythology $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Europe / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural $2 bisacsh 650 4 $a HISTORY / Europe / General. 650 4 $a Witchcraft $x History. 650 4 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural 650 4 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Folklore & Mythology 650 4 $a Witches $x History. 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 10 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409030336.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012031452.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220706014338.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529013216.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20181218010233.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20181218010118.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20181005010640.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20180912010235.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20180227012256.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20171129010339.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F02A5F00BEC911E7B248943F97128E48 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
