Entertaining Satan : Witchcraft and the Culture of Early New England: Witchcraft and the Culture of Early New England | John Putnam Demos Samuel Knight Professor of History Yale University

2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read

In the first edition of the Bancroft Prize-winning Entertaining Satan, John Putnam Demos presented an entirely new perspective on American witchcraft. By investigating the surviving historical documents of over a hundred actual witchcraft cases, he vividly recreated the world of New England during the witchcraft trials and brought to light fascinating information on the role of witchcraft in early American culture. Now Demos has revisited his original work and updated it to illustrate why these early Americans' strange views on witchcraft still matter to us today. He provides a new Preface that puts forth a broader overview of witchcraft and looks at its place around the world--from ancient times right up to the present.

Thanks for the tag, @EadieB !

1. I don‘t actively seek out books about witches, wizards or paranormal activities. I can‘t think of any fictional ones that I‘ve especially enjoyed other than “A Wrinkle in Time.”

2. I‘m a nonfiction gal. My favorites would include accounts of actual witch hunts throughout history, including the tagged one and others by Yale historian John Putnam Demos.
