Trevor-Roper presents a penetrating analysis of one of the most disturbing episodes in Western European history. Trevor-Roper argues that the mass hysteria surrounding witch trials was not a product of isolated superstition, but rather a deeply entrenched social and ideological phenomenon reinforced by the political and religious upheavals of the Reformation era. With authoritative precision, he traces the geographic spread of witch-hunting across Europe, detailing how persecution intensified at moments of social crisis and religious conflict. Written with the clarity and intellectual rigour that defined Trevor-Roper's career, the work remains an essential text for understanding the intersection of fear, power, and belief in early modern Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956184133851,"sku":"2026200008035-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5b9f368f-df42-4f0c-b081-c5c356c42f77.png?v=1783498820","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008035-secondhand-the-european-witch-craze-of-the-16th-and-17th-centuries","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
