Omschrijving

In 'Salem Witchcraft (Vol. I&II)', Charles Wentworth Upham provides a comprehensive account of the infamous witch trials that took place in Salem, Massachusetts in the late 17th century. Upham combines historical research with a narrative style that immerses the reader in the chilling events that unfolded during this dark period in American history. The author's detailed analysis of the social, political, and religious factors that contributed to the hysteria surrounding the witch trials offers valuable insights into the puritanical mindset of the time. Through meticulous documentation of court records, testimonies, and personal accounts, Upham sheds light on the complexities of the accusations and trials that led to the execution of numerous innocent individuals. Upham's scholarly approach and careful examination of primary sources make 'Salem Witchcraft' a seminal work in the study of colonial American history and the phenomenon of mass hysteria. Recommended for readers interested in delving into the intricacies of the Salem witch trials and their lasting impact on American society.
