“Reading Witchcraft: Stories of Early English Witches”

By: Marion Gibson

In this original study of witchcraft, Gibson explores the stories told by and about witches and their 'victims' through trial records, early news books, pamphlets and fascinating personal accounts. The author discusses the issues surrounding the interpretation of original historical sources and demonstrates that their representations of witchcraft are far from straight forward or reliable. Innovative and thought-provoking, this book sheds new light on early modern people's responses to witches and on the sometimes bizarre flexibility of the human imagination.

The book is a softcover, 9 x 6 inches, and was published in London in 1999. It is 242 pages long, with an index, footnotes, bibliography, etc. Book is used, but in mint condition. Top bidder should add $22.99 postage within Canada, or $25.99 to the USA.  I have other, similar books up for sale now, so please check them out too! Multiple books always combined to save on postage, & full refund if you’re not happy. Thanks for looking!
