Witchcraft by Marion Gibson
An accessible overview tracing the history and cultural meanings of witchcraft from early-modern European trials to contemporary Pagan revival, examining how accusations functioned as outlets for social anxieties and mechanisms of control. Drawing on legal records, folklore and anthropological theory, it explores gendered persecution, religious and political contexts, and shifting definitions of witchcraft. The book also considers modern witchcraft movements and how historical narratives have been reshaped by scholarship and popular imagination.
