Edited by Bengt Ankarloo and Stuart Clark, the volumes offer detailed historical analysis rather than practical guides. The series is structured chronologically, allowing readers to trace the evolution of these beliefs across distinct eras. Each volume addresses specific periods, providing depth on how societal views shifted over time. This approach ensures a coherent narrative flow from antiquity to the present day. It serves as a scholarly resource for understanding the cultural and legal frameworks that defined magical practices throughout European history.

Frequently asked about the series

Should I read the volumes in order?
Yes, reading in chronological order provides the best context. Volume 2 covers Ancient Greece and Rome, followed by Volume 5 for the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, ending with Volume 6 on the twentieth century.

Each volume stands alone as a focused study of its specific time period. However, reading them together offers a complete historical arc from ancient times through the modern era for a fuller understanding of the subject matter.
What time periods does this series cover?
The series covers three distinct eras: Ancient Greece and Rome in Volume 2, the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in Volume 5, and the twentieth century in Volume 6. It skips the medieval period entirely.
