Reviews
Review from previous edition This book bursts with a wealth of case studies and microhistories that will no doubt assist witchcraft scholars ... Overall, this is a valuable and impressive contribution to current scholarship. * Oma Alyagon Darr, Renaissance Quarterly *
In sum, the endeavour amounts to a detailed, up-to-date, and authoritative compendium of learning and insight on a topic that defines the very soul of Renaissance literature. * William J. Kennedy, Modern Philology *
