The Witch: A History of Fear, from Ancient Times to the Present by Ronald Hutton
2.0
*2.5 stars
I didn’t read the whole of this book as a lot of it wasn’t relevant to my research, but what I did read was very insightful and thoughtful. It’s very clear that Hutton knows what he’s talking about, and he looked at some interesting and global perspectives of the witch. As usual with scholarly writing, it was a bit tedious to get through at times.
