Salem witchcraft; with an account of Salem village, a history of opinions on witchcraft and kindred subjects

Charles Wentworth Upham’s study is a major 19th-century historical account of the Salem witch trials, set within a broader history of beliefs about witchcraft. Its significance lies in its extensive use of documents and its shaping of later scholarship on the trials; readers will find narrative history, trial material, and essays on the evolution of witchcraft opinion.
