In the first edition of the Bancroft Prize-winning Entertaining Satan, John Putnam Demos presented an entirely new perspective on American witchcraft. By investigating the surviving historical documents of over a hundred actual witchcraft cases, he vividly recreated the world of New England during the witchcraft trials and brought to light fascinating information on the role of witchcraft in early American culture. Now Demos has revisited his original work and updated it to illustrate why these early Americans' strange views on witchcraft still matter to us today. He provides a new preface that puts forth a broader overview of witchcraft and looks at its place around the world--from ancient times right up to the present.

Through exhaustive research, Mr.Demos provides intellectual insight into the psycho/social/puritan zeitgeist of the 1600's witch mania in Massachusetts and early New England. His writing style grabs you in the very first chapter and builds as he delves into individual case files, ver batim court records and the historical documents of communities and individuals to search out why witchcraft accusations were viewed as "devine providence" and not simply borne of personal malice.
