Lois Martin: A brief history of witchcraft (2010, Robinson)

Solid and reasonable overview of witchcraft theories in early modern Europe

This text is truly brief, but it gets to the point. It covers different pillars of the story of witchcraft in Europe during the early modern period with particular focus on the witch trials. There are no grand sweeping claims or judgments. It just brings up the stories and theories and allows a reader to make their own call if necessary.
