reviewed The Witch in History: Early Modern and Twentieth-Century Representations on March 17, 2017 The Witch in History: Early Modern and Twentieth-Century Representations
Having been a fan of Purkiss' other works, I was predisposed to like "The Witch in History" and I was not dissappointed. The degree of scholarship and analysis present in this book makes it a must-read and a must-have for anyone interested in engaging the history of witches.
