The world of witch-hunts and witch trials sounds archaic and fanciful, these terms relics of an unenlightened, brutal age. However, we often hear ‘witch-hunt’ in today’s media, and the misogyny that shaped witch trials is all too familiar.In Witchcraft, Marion Gibson delves into the history of the witch trial but also their persevering relevance: witch trials have been twisted and transformed over the course of history, the definition of a witch reimagined and repurposed over time.
Marion Gibson is Professor of Renaissance and Magical Literatures at the University of Exeter. She is the author of seven academic books on witches in history and literature and Witchcraft: A History in Thirteen Trials is her most recent book.
