Overview
Key facts
Drawing on a rich range of contemporary documents and accounts, this class will explore the causes and nature of the early modern witch-hunts. Through illustrated lectures, assess the role played by pestilence and war, climatic changes, social and religious tensions in triggering witch-hunts across Europe with University of Strathclyde's Night Battles - The European Witch Hunts 1400-1700. Consider the origins of 'witchcraft', its nature and character, and belief in 'magic'. Who were the accusers and who were the victims? How were they investigated and punished?
Programme Structure
- Why were women perceived to be so susceptible to involvement in 'witchcraft'? The story of the early modern Witch-hunts is not merely a lurid tale of torture and cruelty, but it also illuminates the social, economic, political, and religious history of a world in turmoil.
