| Synopsis: |
For some, witchcraft is a metaphor for empowerment; for some, a religion; for others, a terrible ongoing threat. Witchcraft: The Basics is an accessible and engaging to the scholarly study of witchcraft which explores the phenomenon of witchcraft from its earliest definitions in the Middle Ages, to the fifteenth-century orthodoxy of Malleus Maleficarum before examining the resonances of witchcraft in the modern world. Using key case studies to analyse the roles of culture, religion, gender politics, social hierarchy, generational differences and the role of governance in the enduring role of witchcraft throughout history, it address such topics as:Late medieval and early modern witchcraftWitchcraft in the 17th and 18th centuriesThe "witchcraft Renaissance" in literatureThe academic history of witchcraftWitchcraft in the modern worldWitchcraft and entertainment cultureWith a glossary of key terms, suggestions for further study and a broad selection of extracts from global sources and literary texts, Witchcraft: The Basics is an ideal introduction for anyone wishing to learn more about this controversial issue in human culture which that is very much alive. |
