Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Witchcraft in England From 1558 to 1718 Besides these seven types of material there should be named a few others less important. From the pam phlet accounts of the criminal dockets at the Old Bailey and Newgate, lea ets which were published at frequent intervals after the Restoration, are to be gleaned men tions of perhaps half a dozen trials for witchcraft. The plays of Dekker, Heywood, and Shadwell must be used by the student, not because they add information omitted elsewhere, but because they offer some clue to the way in which the witches at Edmonton and Lan caster were regarded by the public. If the pamphlet narrative of the witch of Edmonton had been lost, it might be possible to reconstruct from the play of Dek ker, Ford, and Rowley some of the outlines of the story. It would be at best a hazardous undertaking. To re construct the trials at Lancaster from the plays of Hey wood and Brome or from that of Shadwell would be quite impossible. The ballads present a form of evi dence much like that of the plays. Like the plays, they happen all to deal with cases about which we are already well informed. In general, they seem to follow the narratives and depositions faithfully. No mention has been made of manuscript sources. Those used by the author have all belonged to one or other of the types of material described. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large Print 13 point font, -- When first projected it was the writer's purpose to take up the subject of English witchcraft under certain general political and social aspects. It was not long, however, before he began to feel that preliminary to such a treatment there was necessary a chronological survey of the witch trials. Those strange and tragic affairs were so closely involved with the politics, literature, and life of the seventeenth century that one is surprised to find how few of them have received accurate or complete record in history. It may be said, in fact, that few subjects have gathered about themselves so large concretions of misinformation as English witchcraft.

Download or read book A History of Witchcraft in England from 1558 to 1718 (the Esoteric Library) written by Wallace Notestein and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been said by a thoughtful writer that the subject of witchcraft has hardly received that place which it deserves in the history of opinions. There has been, of course, a reason for this neglect--the fact that the belief in witchcraft is no longer existent among intelligent people and that its history, in consequence, seems to possess rather an antiquarian than a living interest. No one can tell the story of the witch trials of sixteenth and seventeenth century England without digging up a buried past, and the process of exhumation is not always pleasant. Yet the study of English witchcraft is more than an unsightly exposure of a forgotten superstition. There were few aspects of sixteenth and seventeenth century life that were not affected by the ugly belief. It is quite impossible to grasp the social conditions, it is impossible to understand the opinions, fears, and hopes of the men and women who lived in Elizabethan and Stuart England, without some knowledge of the part played in that age by witchcraft. It was a matter that concerned all classes from the royal household to the ignorant denizens of country villages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of Witchcraft in England 1558-1715 by Wallace Notestein is a Piranesi Press Historical Reprint. This is an abridged version of the original 1911 book removing the mundane 732 academic footnotes and forty some pages of appendices so the narrative is clear and easy to read. The unabridged version is also available as ISBN 978-1-956964-52-3 but is twice the page volume and a bit more costly to produce, therefore the difference in price. Unless you are an academic researcher of witchcraft, this version is your best bet and more enjoyable to read. I think Dr. Wallace must have set a world record for the number of footnotes in a book at the time.Limited Edition of 500 Copies World-wide.
