A History of Witchcraft in England from 1558 to 1718

A History of Witchcraft in England from 1558 to 1718 is a scholarly historical work by Wallace Notestein that examines the development of witchcraft beliefs, witch trials, and related social fears in England during the late 16th and early 18th centuries. The book explores how superstition, religion, politics, and social tensions contributed to accusations of witchcraft and the persecution of alleged witches. Notestein studies famous trials, legal practices, public beliefs, and the changing attitudes that eventually led to the decline of witchcraft prosecutions in England.
