This book looks at witches and witchcraft through the lens of the society in which they existed to demonstrate the system of thought and belief that made the crime of witchcraft possible, and the legal and political structures that upheld those fears. This is the ideal introduction for students exploring the history of witchcraft and the persecution of suspected witches for the first time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJulian Goodare\u003c\/strong\u003e is Reader in History at the University of Edinburgh.
