Descriere magazin:
In this work,
Carol Karlsen reveals the social construction of witchcraft in 17th century New
England and illuminates the larger contours of gender relations in that society. A pioneering work in . . . the sexual structuring of society. This is not just another book about witchcraft.--Edmund S. Morgan, Yale University. Confessing to familiarity with the devils, Mary Johnson, a servant, was executed by Connecticut officials in 1648. A wealthy Boston widow, Ann Hibbens was hanged in 1656 for casting spells on her neighbors. The case of Ann Cole, who was taken with very strange Fits, fueled an outbreak of witchcraft accusations in Hartford a generation before the notorious events at Salem. More than three hundred years later, the question Why? still haunts us. Why were these and other women likely witches--vulnerable to accusations of witchcraft and possession?
