- Summary
-
- Now Available in a Second edition, this superb documentary collection illuminates the history of witchcraft and witch-hunting in seventeenth-century New England. The cases examined begin in 1638, extend to the Salem outbreak in 1692, and document for the first time the extensive Stamford-Fairfield, Connecticut, witch-hunt of 1692-1693
- Here one encounters witch-hunts through the eyes of those who participated in them -- the accusers, the victims, the judges. The original texts tell in vivid detail a multidimensional story that conveys not only the process of witch-hunting but also the complexity of culture and society in early America. The documents capture deep-rooted attitudes and expectations and reveal the tensions, anger, envy, and misfortune that underlay communal life and family relationships within New England's small towns and villages
- Primary sources include court depositions as well as excerpts from the diaries and letters of contemporaries, and they cover trials for witchcraft, reports of diabolical possessions, suits of defamation, and reports of preternatural events. Each section is preceded by headnotes that describe the case and its background and then refer the reader to important secondary interpretations. In his incisive introduction, David D. Hall addresses a wide range of important issues: witchcraft lore, antagonistic social relationships, the vulnerability of women, religious ideologies, popular and learned understandings of witchcraft and the devil, and the role of the legal system
- This volume is extraordinary in its significance for the study of gender, village politics, religion, and popular culture in seventeenth-century New England
