Tormented Girls Writhing In Agony, Stern Judges Meting Out Harsh Verdicts, Nineteen Bodies Swinging On Gallows Hill.The Stark Immediacy Of What Happened In 1692 Has Obscured The Complex Web Of Human Passion, Individual And Organized, Which Had Been Growing For More Than A Generation Before The Witch Trials.
