内容説明

Until now studies on the history of witchcraft and sorcery have been largely from the Anglo-Saxon perspective. This study attempts to show how that approach has blurred our understanding and definition of the issues involved, and sheds new light on witchcraft in England. What had hitherto been seen as peculiar to England is now shown to be characteristic of much of northern Europe. In ending the Anglo-Saxon monopoly of witchcraft studies, this book takes into account major new developments in the historiography of witchcraft - in methodology and in the chronological and geographical scope of the studies.
