This is the first ever full book on the subject of male witches addressing incidents of witch-hunting in both Britain and Europe.Uses feminist categories of gender analysis to critique the feminist agenda that mars many studies. Advances a more bal. Critiques historians' assumptions about witch-hunting, challenging the marginalisation of male witches by feminist and other historians. Shows that large numbers of men were accused of witchcraft in their own right, in some regions, more men were accused than women. It uses feminist categories of gender analysis to challenge recent arguments and current orthodoxies providing a more balanced and complex view of witch-hunting and ideas about witches in their gendered forms than has hitherto been available.WitchcraftEuropeHistoryWarlocksEuropeHistoryEuropean witch-hunting.Jules Michelet.Kantian internalist categories.Stuart Clark.William Monter.agency theory.agent-centred morality.demonological illustrations.early modern Europe.feminised witchcraft.male witches.selfhood.witchcraft studies.witches' agency.WitchcraftHistory.WarlocksHistory.133.43094Apps Lara801724Gow Andrew ColinWaSeSSWaSeSSBOOK9910297041903321Male witches in early modern Europe2025077UNINA
