Book excerpt: The history of witchcraft and sorcery has attracted a great deal of interest and debate, but until now studies have been largely from the Anglo-Saxon perspective. This book shows how that approach has blurred our understanding and definition of the issues involved, and, taking into account major new developments in the historiography of witchcraft, aims to end the Anglo-Saxon monopoly on witchcraft studies.
