Synopsis
In this reinterpretation of the witchcraft fears and persecution that plagued Europe for centuries, Robin Briggs chronicles the brutal inquisitions that occurred. In addition to serving as a history of witchcraft in Europe, "Witches and Neighbors" provides background for much of the religious immigration to America and the Salem witch trials.

Publisher's Note
A distinguished scholar explores the origins and evolution of witchcraft and the witch-hunt. Who were the witches? What were their practices? Why, exactly were they feared? Robin Briggs goes further than simply looking at the witch persecutions. Based on extensive archival research, he focuses on the society in which perceived witchcraft existed and illuminates a period darkened by myth and misinformation.
Witches and Neighbors is a remarkable interpretation of the course and causes of the fear and persecution of witches that bedeviled Europe for centuries. Robin Briggs draws on the latest research into the local realities underlying the phenomenon. In particular, he employs his own extensive work in the rich archives hidden away in the area in Europe in which so many cases became known. Who were the witches? What were their practices? Who believed in them? What was their place in society? Why, exactly, were they feared? And how were they accused, tried, and executed? Robin Briggs attempts to answer these questions. But he goes one step further than simply looking at the persecutions themselves; he focuses on the society in which perceived witchcraft existed. Wiches and Neighbors is an illuminating social and cultural history of a period all too often darkened by myth and misinformation.
