To help further our understanding and interest in this wider history of beliefs and practices, the series will include research that looks beyond the usual focus on Western Europe and that also explores their relevance and influence from the medieval to the modern period. It will also encourage the development of a broader corpus of work in other related areas of magic and the supernatural, such as angels, devils, spirits, ghosts, folk healing and divination. The aim of this series is to help illuminate these lesser known or little studied aspects of the history of witchcraft and magic. While the quality of publications on witchcraft has been high, some regions and topics have received less attention over the years. Several general surveys of the witch trials and numerous regional and micro studies have been published for an English-speaking readership.
There is certainly no shortage of books on the subject.
