Potts's Discovery of Witches: In the County of Lancaster (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandDa: Forgotten Books, London, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the dark history of the witch mania that swept through England during the 17th century, exposing the appalling excesses and miscarriages of justice that occurred. The author meticulously examines the societal factors that contributed to this widespread hysteria, highlighting the roles of superstition, religious bigotry, and the exploitation of vulnerable individuals. The narrative sheds light on the surprising involvement of prominent figures of the time, including intellectuals and scientists, who, despite their knowledge and reason, fell prey to the prevailing beliefs about witchcraft. The book explores the lives and works of key individuals who challenged the witch-hunting frenzy, often at great personal risk, and who ultimately paved the way for a more enlightened understanding of the phenomenon. Through a combination of historical analysis and biographical sketches, this book offers a thought-provoking examination of the witch craze, exploring its causes, consequences, and the individuals who fought against it. The book's insights into this dark chapter of history serve as a reminder of the dangers of unchecked fear, prejudice, and the erosion of reason in the face of mass hysteria.
