Crimen Exceptum: The English Witch Prosecution in Context

Bearing echoes of modern-day "othering" and marginalization of outsiders, the author shows how witchcraft became akin to treason (with its special rules), and how evidentially speaking storms, sickness, or coincidence might be attributed to conjuring, magic, curses, and spells. All this reinforced by examples and detailed references to the law and practice through which a desired outcome was achieved.
