Recenzii
'Overall, this book should be essential reading for anyone interested in the criminal aspects of the witchcraft trials and in the history of common law.' H-Albion, 2011 'Pour conclure, c’est un travail d’une grande valeur pour tout chercheur qui s’intéresse à la sorcellerie en Angleterre.' Moreana 'This book should [...] be valuable reading for anyone interested in the criminal procedure of witchcraft in England and the larger questions prompted by the study of this crime.' H-Albion, 2013 'Orna Alyagon Darr's book is a shining example of the great value of an interdisciplinary study of historical issues.' Zmanim '... a serious and useful study, gathering together the problems and attempted solutions of proof for this most tricky of crimes.' English Historical Review 'This important study is a must read for both legal historians and those interested in the European witch hunts.' Sixteenth Century Journal '... an innovative addition to the historiography of witchcraft.' Journal of Modern History 'All in all, Darr’s is a thought-provoking study that adds considerably to the literature on English witchcraft. ... a valuable book.' Preternature '... this important and highly useful book significantly enriches our understanding of the evidentiary dilemmas in witchcraft trials and will be an enduring contribution to the fields of witchcraft studies and legal history.' Renaissance Quarterly
Descriere
Exploring the crime of witchcraft in early modern England, this book focuses on legal questions of proof. As a capital crime - yet one that was uniquely difficult to prove - witchcraft investigations and trials offer a fascinating lens through which to observe social and judicial attitudes towards crime, punishment and evidentiary standards. The witchcraft debate took place within the formative era of modern evidence law, and the book highlights the mutual influences between the witch trials and major legal developments.
