About This Book

This work compiles contemporary accounts and responses to the witchcraft panic in colonial New England, presenting a prominent theological defense alongside a pointed rebuttal, together with a prefatory introduction and notes that trace editions and publication history. It surveys trial practices, public credulity, and the influence of printed tracts, traces the roles played by clergy and civil authorities, and follows the gradual shift from widespread belief toward critical scrutiny by comparing local episodes with English witchcraft literature.
