Based on a mass of new evidence extracted from a range of archives, both local and national, it seeks to relate the rise and decline of belief in witchcraft, alongside the legal prosecution of witches, to the wider political culture of the period. Building on the seminal work of scholars such as Stuart Clark, Ian Bostridge, and Jonathan Barry, it demonstrates how learned discussion of witchcraft, as well as the trials of those suspected of the crime, were shaped by religious and political imperatives in that period. 000756855 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000756855 650_0 $$aWitchcraft$$zEngland$$xHistory. 000756855 650_0 $$aWitch hunting$$zEngland$$xHistory. 000756855 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aElmer, Peter.$$tWitchcraft, witch-hunting, and politics in early modern England.$$dOxford : Oxford University Press, 2016$$z9780198717720$$w(DLC) 2015943398$$w(OCoLC)915508933 000756855 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000756855 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198717720.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000756855 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:756855$$pGLOBAL_SET 000756855 980__ $$aEBOOK 000756855 980__ $$aBIB 000756855 982__ $$aEbook 000756855 983__ $$aOnline
