Recenzii
Kounine has produced a series of excellent case histories that reveal how difficult it was to detect or prove the guilt of someone whose crime, if any, was internal.
...her book deserves attention for her insightful and intriguing views. Kounine combines innovative approaches to key issues in the witch hunt literature with a careful reading of archival sources. This work also does a remarkable job of leading readers through the main theories on witchcraft such as those of Midelfort, Clark and Roper (many others are mentioned).
In these connections lie the book's main significance, not just as a piece of exemplary scholarship in its own right, but as a contribution to several overlapping fields simultaneously: predominantly, and most obviously, the history of witchcraft and history of emotions, but at least three other areas are also illuminated: first, enquiries into selfhood, subjectivity, and phenomenology; secondly, the history of gender and the body; and thirdly, literary and cultural historical investigation of criminal legal records... Laura amplifies the voices of her subjects, and adapts them for our ears, but she doesn't ventriloquize them to suit her purposes. At the same time, she never hesitates or equivocates, and so inspires absolute confidence as a writer. This is intrepid stuff. It's the sort of book that makes the reader wonder whether anyone else could have written such a book in the same nuanced, sophisticated way.
