Description

Within the first edition of the Bancroft Prize-winning Entertaining Satan, John Putnam Demos presented an entirely new point of view on American witchcraft. By investigating the surviving historical documents of over a hundred actual witchcraft cases, he vividly recreated the world of New England all the way through the witchcraft trials and brought to light fascinating information at the role of witchcraft in early American culture. Now Demos has revisited his original work and up to date it to illustrate why these early Americans’ odd views on witchcraft still matter to us these days. He provides a new preface that puts forth a broader overview of witchcraft and looks at its place around the globe–from precedent days right as much as the present.
