A whole range of historical perspectives is collected here, including recent research on the role of gender in witch trials, ideas about the devil and demonic possession, and reasons for the decline of witch trials. The major themes and debates in the study of witchcraft are brought together in a general introduction, which places the extracts in a critical context.
