About
"No historian before Marion Gibson has managed to convey so well the lived reality of British witch trials at the local level. This is as close to an eye-witness view of them as we are likely to get." Ronald Hutton, author of The Witch
Marion Gibson is Emerita Professor of Renaissance and Magical Literatures at the University of Exeter. She's been thinking about witches in history since she read her first account of a witch trial in a book lent to her on a dark, rainy afternoon thirty years ago. She was so excited by the story that she forgot to give the book back...
She is the author of nine books on witches in history and literature, most recently Witchcraft: A History in 13 Trials and The Witches of St Osyth.
Marion joins us for her new book Witchland: A Tale of Witch Hunting and War in Seventeenth-Century Britain.
