Overview
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.
