Once a tool invented by demonologists to hurt and silence their enemies, witch trials have been twisted and transformed over the course of history and the lines between witch and witch-hunter blurred.
In Witchcraft, Professor Marion Gibson uses thirteen significant trials to tell the fascinating global history of witchcraft and witch-hunts from the Middle Ages to the present day. Placing the 'witches' front and centre, Gibson pays tribute to history's marginalised and demonised and offers fresh perspectives on trials familiar to us, challenging our perception of what a witch-hunt looks like. For the fortunate, it is just a metaphor, but, as this book makes clear, witches are truly still on trial.
