Witchcraft Myths In American Culture

An examination of how Americans think about and write about witches, from the 'real' witches tried and sometimes executed in early New England to modern re-imaginings of witches as pagan priestesses, comic-strip heroines and feminist icons. This book offers a re-reading of the original documents describing witchcraft prosecutions from 1640-1700.
