Description
This re-examination of the Salem witchcraft trials and their background makes use of new evidence in the areas of panic rumours, teen hysteria, child abuse, and intra-family relations. The accusations and confessions of this legal story resurrect the internal tensions underlying the Salem witchhunts. Drawing on criminal studies, the text brings to life a set of conversations that took place among suspects, accusers, witnesses and spectators.
