Book Description
Tormented girls writhing in agony, stern judges meting out harsh verdicts, nineteen bodies swinging on Gallows Hill. The stark immediacy of what happened in 1692 has obscured the complex web of human passion, individual and organized, which had been growing for more than a generation before the witch trials. Salem Possessed explores the lives of the men and women who helped spin that web and who in the end found themselves entangled in it. From rich and varied sources—many previously neglected or unknown—Paul Boyer and Stephen Nissenbaum give us a picture of the events of 1692 more intricate and more fascinating than any other in the already massive literature on Salem. “Salem Possessed,” wrote Robin Briggs in The Times Literary Supplement, “reinterprets a world-famous episode so completely and convincingly that virtually all the previous treatments can be consigned to the historical lumber-room.” Not simply a dramatic and isolated event, the Salem outbreak has wider implications for our understanding of developments central to the American experience: the breakup of Puritanism, the pressures of land and population in New England towns, the problems besetting farmer and householder, the shifting role of the church, and the powerful impact of commercial capitalism.

Book Description
The Salem witch trials were the famous trails and prosecutions of people who were accused of witchcraft in Massachusetts from 1692 to May 1693. In total, over 200 people were accused, with 19 being executed for their supposed preternatural crimes. This book contains the second volume of the official records of the trials, copied form the original documents. Contents include: "Sarah Vibber v. John Willard", "Eliz Hubbard v. John Willard", "Eliz Booth v. John Willard", "Lydia Nichols Margaret Knight v. John Willard", "Sam Wilkins v. John Willard", "Thomas Bailed v. John Willard", "Eliz Bailey v. John Willard", "Rebecca Wilkins v. John Willard", etc. This vintage book will appeal to those with an interest in these famous trials, and it would make for a perfect addition to collections of related literature. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the folklore and history of witchcraft.
