The book delves into the rich history of witchcraft in the Selwood Forest region, focusing on a significant case from 1689 in Beckington. It connects key theological texts, such as Richard Bernard's and Joseph Glanvill's works, with local families and witchcraft narratives, illustrating that this incident was part of a broader context rather than an isolated event. By examining this micro-history, the author enhances our understanding of early modern social history and the cultural dynamics surrounding witchcraft in the seventeenth century.
