Witchcraft in Tudor and Stuart England (2nd ed)

This is a regional and comparative study of early modern witchcraft.

The history of witchcraft continues to attract attention with its emotive and contentious debates.

The methodology and conclusions of this book have impacted not only on witchcraft studies but on the approach to social and cultural history with its quantitative and anthropological approach.

The book provides a case study on Essex as well as drawing comparisons with other regions of early modern England.

The second edition adds a historiographical introduction, placing the book in context in the late 1990s.
