Introduction : The Devil in New England -- "Hanged for a Witch" : Witch-hunting in New England before 1670 -- "Being instigated by the Devil" : The Crime of Witchcraft -- "A forward, discontented frame of spirit" : The New England Witch -- "The more women, the more witches" : Gender and Witchcraft -- "There was some mischief in it" : The Social Context of Witchcraft -- "Very awful and amazing" : Witch Panics and the Bewitched -- "According to God’s Law" : Witch-hunting as a Judicial Process -- Conclusion : The Case of Ann Burt and Witch-hunting in the English Atlantic.

"While interpersonal, local, and regional contexts are critical to the analysis of witch-hunting in early New England, this book shows that a full understanding of the Puritan colonies’ battle against black magic can only be achieved by placing it in a trans-Atlantic perspective"-- Provided by publisher..
