Reviews

'This book is timely in offering a clear view of how heresy and witchcraft connected, how they were reflected in contemporary religious debates, and how a number of differing positions about witchcraft in particular could be held. It is an excellent book which demonstrates original thinking and wide scholarship, and will be an important addition to works on witchcraft, and particularly to works which students are being encouraged to read.' - Jim Sharpe, University of York 'Not just another account of witch 'persecution', but specific and incisive.' - Dr Marion Gibson, University of Exeter 'This is a well-organized, erudite and admirably lucid account of the 'witch-craze', especially valuable for the way it bridges the medieval and early modern eras.' - Dr Malcolm Gaskill, University of Cambridge
