Synopsis
This book uniquely examines the role of female witchcraft and counter-spells within the context of early modern English culture. Rooted in extensive research, the author approaches the subject of witchcraft not as a paranormal phenomenon, but as a social and historical reality, offering a fresh perspective on gender roles and power dynamics. Delving into fascinating case studies, the book explores not only the accusations and trials of so-called witches but also the strategies they employed to defend themselves against persecution. By positioning witchcraft within the broader context of the conflict between healers and doctors, the book provides a nuanced understanding of how women's roles in medieval and early modern knowledge systems were systematically dismantled. This meticulously researched work sheds new light on a significant but often overlooked aspect of English history.
