Reviews

Hite is to be commended for challenging Boyer's and Nissenbaum's treatment of early modern witchcraft persecutions in Salem in terms of factionalist strife. Also useful is his summary of the witchcraft persecutions in Andover. . . . [In the Shadow of Salem] paves the way into an important field of research, emphasizing the value of comparative analysis and structural awareness in understanding these complex phenomena. It ought to inspire further research and serve as an introductory volume to the early modern witchcraft persecutions in Andover. --Journal of Eighteenth-Century Studies
