Title
The Lancashire Witches: A Chronicle of Sorcery and Death on Pendle Hill,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In the febrile religious and political climate of late sixteenthcentury England, when the grip of the Reformation was as yet fragile and insecure, and underground papism still perceived to be rife, Lancashire was felt by the Protestant authorities to be a sinister corner of superstition, lawlessness, and popery. And it was around Pendle Hill that their suspicions took infamous shape. The arraignment of the Lancashire witches in the assizes of Lancaster during 1612 is England's most notorious witchtrial. The women who lived in the vicinity of Pendle, who were accused, convicted and hanged alongside the socalled 'Salmesbury Witches,' were more than just wicked sorcerers whose malign incantations caused others harm. They were reputed to be part of a dense network of devilry and mischief that revealed itself as much in hidden celebration of the Mass as in malevolent magic. Published to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the case of the Lancashire witches, Philip C. Almond evokes all the fear, drama, and paranoia of those volatile times: the bleak story of the storm over Pendle.
