Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2002The Scottish witch-hunt in context
by Julian Goodare
A collection of essays on Scottish witchcraft and witch-hunting, which covers the whole period of the Scottish witch-hunt, from the mid-sixteenth century to the early eighteenth. Includes studies of particular witchcraft panics such as a reassessment of the role of King James VI. Covers a wide range of topics concerned with Scottish witch-hunting and places it in the context of other topics such as gender relations, folklore, magic and healing, and moral regulation by the church and state. Provides a comparative dimension of witch-hunting beyond Scotland - one on the global context, and one comparing Scotland with England. It is a showcase for the latest thinking on the subject and will be of interest to all scholars studying witchcraft in early modern Europe, as well as the general reader wanting to move beyond shallow and sensational accounts of a subject of compelling in. ;

March 2010Über die Seele
by Katja Crone, Robert Schnepf, Jürgen Stolzenberg
Die philosophische Frage nach der Seele gehört zu den ältesten und zugleich aktuellsten Themen der Philosophie. Bis heute ist keineswegs geklärt, was das Seelische bzw. Geistige ausmacht und wie es sich zum Physischen verhält. Dies belegen die gegenwärtigen Kontroversen zwischen Neurowissenschaft und Philosophie über menschliche Willensfreiheit. Der Band präsentiert die wirkungsmächtigsten Positionen zum Begriff der Seele von der Antike bis zur Neuzeit und diskutiert darüber hinaus aktuelle Problemlagen der Bewußtseinsphilosophie. Alle Beiträge stammen von international renommierten Spezialisten, richten sich aber dezidiert an ein breiteres Publikum. So bietet der Band zugleich einen Beitrag zur aktuellen Debatte um Geist und Gehirn und eine fundierte Einführung in das Thema.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2024The Malleus Maleficarum
by Peter Maxwell-Stuart
A shocking glimpse into the mind of a medieval witch hunter. In 1487, the zealous Dominican inquisitor Heinrich Kramer wrote a treatise that would have a remarkable influence on European history. Blaming women for his own lust, and frustrated by official complacency before what he saw as a monstrous spiritual menace, Kramer penned a practical guide to aid law officers in the identification and prosecution of witches. Fusing theology, lurid anecdotes and advice for those engaged in combating sorcery, The Malleus Maleficarum transports the reader into the dark heart of medieval belief - where fear of the supernatural provokes a gripping struggle for understanding and control. Kramer's book led to the burning of numerous innocents and had a lasting impact on the popular image of witchcraft. It remains a sinister symbol of fanaticism and cruelty to this day.

Children's & YAThe Little Owl Witch (2). Full Moon Magic at Midnight
by Katja Alves/ Marta Balmaseda
Exciting new adventures in the Enchanted Forest. The mighty tree witches send out invitations to take part in the great Witch Competition, which is only held once every hundred years.

There is just one catch: whoever comes last in solving the extremely difficult magic problems must hand over her witch’s broomstick. Oh dear! The trouble is, all the other witches are very old and are real experts in the art of magic… Fortunately, and as always, Petunia can rely on her little owls!

Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 1999The Witch of Edmonton
by William Rowley, Thomas Dekker and John Ford
by Peter Corbin, David Bevington, Douglas Sedge
The Witch of Edmonton has received considerable attention recently both from scholars and critics interested in witchcraft practices and also from the directors in the theatre. The play, based on a sensational witchcraft trial of 1621, presents Mother Sawyer and her local community in the grip of a witch-mania reflecting popular belief and superstition of the time. This edition offers a thorough reconsideration of the text with a complete transcription of the original pamphlet by Henry Goodcole. This edition will be of particular interest not only to students of Renaissance Drama but also of the cultural history of the seventeenth century.. Open University adopted text (for their new Renaissance Drama module). ;
