Durrant, Jonathan B.

Witchcraft, Gender and Society in Early Modern Germany - Brill 2007 - 1 electronic resource (316 p.)

Open Access

Using the example of Eichstätt, this book challenges current witchcraft historiography by arguing that the gender of the witch-suspect was a product of the interrogation process and that the stable communities affected by persecution did not collude in its escalation. Readership: All those interested in the history of witch persecution, gender history, the history of the Catholic Reformation, and the history of early modern Germany.
