Sommario/riassunto |
|
This study of male witches addresses incidents of witch-hunting in Britain and Europe, using feminist categories of gender analysis to critique the feminist agenda that mars many studies. It advances a more balanced and complex view of witch-hunting and ideas about witches in their gendered forms. |
