Harvard Paperbacks: Salem Possessed: The Social Origins of Witchcraft (Paperback)

from 9inchsnails

Read for graduate Historiography. Honestly, the Salem Witch Trials have never been of historical or academic interest to me; I was surprised to enjoy this as much as I did. Well-researched and lively.

my first book about the witchcraze in the colonies, boyer does a fine job of introducing the subject and the scenery. good for novice and scholar alike.

An impressive book. Unlike most accounts of the trials, this takes social and political factors into consideration when explaining possible causes for the dramatic and tragic turn of events.
