Palgrave Historical Studies in Witchcraft and Magic
Witchcraft and Masculinities in Early Modern Europe
Men and masculinities are still inadequately incorporated into the historiography of early modern witch trials, despite the fact that 20-25% of all accused ‘witches’ were male. This book redresses this imbalance by making men the focus of the gender analysis and also covers the issue of regional variation in the gendering of witch persecution.

This volume is chock full of interesting and intriguing articles that challenge previously conceived notions regarding the role of men in the witch trials of early modern Europe. Each essay stands its ground through careful scholarship that provides the reader with a jumping-off point in order to pursue each of the specialized topics further. It is well organized and put together.
