Lyndal Roper examines the psychological and social underpinnings of the witch hunts in early modern Germany, moving beyond simple explanations of misogyny or religious zeal. By analyzing the intersection of fantasy, communal anxiety, and gendered power dynamics, the author provides a rigorous historical investigation into how the figure of the witch became a vessel for the deepest fears of Baroque society.
