Witchcraft and Masculinities in Early Modern Europe

A. Rowlands

Palgrave Macmillan UK, Oct 22, 2009 - History - 257 pages

Men – as accused witches, witch-hunters, werewolves and the demonically possessed – are the focus of analysis in this collection of essays by leading scholars of early modern European witchcraft. The gendering of witch persecution and witchcraft belief is explored through original case-studies from England, Scotland, Italy, Germany and France.
