Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the literary landscape that emerged during the 17th-century witchcraft epidemic in New England. Highlighting its global origins, it traces the proliferation of treatises about witchcraft both in support and condemnation of the belief in satanic influence. The book references numerous texts, both those published in Europe like Glanvil's 'Sadducismus Triumphans,' and local works such as Cotton Mather's 'Wonders of the Invisible World.' By dissecting these texts and the events surrounding the Salem witch trials, the publication offers a nuanced understanding of the socio-historical forces that fueled the mass hysteria and explores the lasting impact of the events on our perception of witchcraft.
