Book excerpt: The works selected for this volume are taken from topical literature representing the prosecution of English women for witchcraft between 1566 and 1712. The texts here were chosen to represent all the ways in which women's activities as witches were presented in 'popular' literature rather than texts aimed at a more leisured and literate readership.
