A review by mothmans_mum
The Witch-Hunt in Early Modern Europe by Brian P. Levack

5.0

I see now why this is considered the definitive text in the witch trials. Levack is clear on the outrageous nature of the crimes committed by those who hunted, tried and executed accused witches. He presents both hard facts and his theories and explanations in an extremely clear and intelligible and systematic way. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the witch trials and why they happened.
