Book Synopsis Witchcraft, Gender, and Society in Early Modern Germany by : Jonathan Bryan Durrant
Book excerpt: Using the example of Eichstatt, this book challenges current witchcraft historiography by arguing that the gender of the witch-suspect was a product of the interrogation process and that the stable communities affected by persecution did not collude in its escalation.
