Records of the Salem Witch-Hunt Hardback
by Bernard Rosenthal
Hardback
- Information
Description
This book represents a comprehensive record of all legal documents pertaining to the Salem witch trials, in chronological order.
Numerous manuscripts, as well as records published in earlier books that were overlooked in other editions, offer a comprehensive narrative account of the events of 1692–3, with supplementary materials stretching as far as the mid-18th century.
The book can be used as a reference book or read as an unfolding narrative.
All legal records are newly transcribed, and included in this edition is a historical introduction, a legal introduction, and a linguistic introduction.
Manuscripts are accompanied by notes that, in many cases, identify the person who wrote the record.
This has never been attempted, and much is revealed by seeing who wrote what, when.
