Writing Witch-Hunt Histories: Challenging the Paradigm de Marko Nenonen

Writing Witch-Hunt Histories: Challenging the Paradigm: Studies in Medieval and Reformation Traditions, cartea 173

Editat de Marko Nenonen, Raisa Maria Toivo
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 oct 2013
This book gives an analytical review of the history of witch-hunt historiography. So far not much attention has been paid to how the European witch-hunts have been studied and explained in some 150 years of academic research on the issue. The history of the approaches and explanations in witch-hunt research fundamentally contributes not only to our understanding of the bizarre phenomenon in European history but also contributes to understanding of cultural as well as academic trends which heavily direct any research even when scholars are not cognisant of their underlying premises. How and why the picture of witch-hunts has been changing in scholarly works and text books is as illuminating an issue as the proper explanations offered by the research works.

Contributors include: Rune Blix Hagen, Ronald Hutton, Gunnar W. Knutsen, Marianna G. Muravyeva, Marko Nenonen, Raisa Maria Toivo, Charles Zika
