Witch Hunt Research

Detail from "Hexenversammlung" by Frans Francken II

My interests include History, especially the study of the Witch Hunts in early modern Europe. I currently hold a Masters degree from the University of New England, my thesis topic being "The Imp in Tudor and Stuart England: The role of the Familiar Spirit in Witchcraft Accusations, Legislation and Literature". For a copy of the bibliography, email me. One day I'd like to undertake more post-graduate study in this area and maybe travel to England to do some research. 

The following links provide excellent scholarly information on the witch hunt phenomenon:
