HISTORY 4303.

HISTORY 4645. WITCHCRAFT AND WITCH HUNTING IN PRE-MODERN EUROPE. (Eight Week Session). In orders to examine how European peoples understood and experienced witchcraft, this course will combine lectures along with assigned readings of primary sources (i.e., historical documents) and secondary literature (i.e., what scholars have written about those primary sources). We will explore the differing—and sometimes similar—understandings and experiences of the educated and the unlettered, female and male, rural and urban, rich and poor, lay and religious. We will do this with a keen eye on the ways the study of witchcraft can enrich our historical understanding of issues such as gender relationships, modern state formation, the histories of science, law, and theology, popular and elite religion, demonology, and magic, as well as other relevant topics. Professor: J.
