This book delves deeply into its context, beliefs, and origins in Europe's history. The witch came to prominence-and often a painful death-in early modern Europe, yet her origins are much more geographically diverse and historically deep. 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. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Witchcraft $x History. 650 0 $a Witch hunting $x History. 650 0 $a Witches $x History. 650 0 $a History. 700 1 $a Jackson, Gildart, $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11883361 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/bsa_9781538450482_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20180403014328.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BBA9FD18370411E887D7D95B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
