{"product_id":"languages-of-witchcraft-stuart-clark-9780333793497","title":"Languages of Witchcraft: Narrative, Ideology and Meaning in Early Modern Culture","description":"Different conceptions of the world and of reality have made witchcraft possible in some societies and impossible in others. How did the people of early modern Europe experience it, what was it, and what was its place in their culture? The news essays in this collection illustrate the latest trends in witchcraft research and in cultural history in general. After three decades in which the social analysis of witchcraft accusations has dominated the subject, they turn instead to its significance and meaning as a cultural phenomenon-to the \"languages\" of witchcraft, rather than its causes. As a result, witchcraft seems less startling than it once was, yet more revealing of the world in which it occurred.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stuart Clark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0333793498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780333793497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2001 pg. 1809","brand":"Stuart Clark","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119588897023,"sku":"9780333793497","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_16980e75-cf96-4248-8db6-76222c58f8fe.jpg?v=1687410048","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/languages-of-witchcraft-stuart-clark-9780333793497","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
