Possession and the sexes / Sarah Ferber. - Despite the fact that males constituted almost a quarter of all those accused of witchcraft across early modern, Europe, men and masculinities remain inadequately incorporated into the history of witch-trials in this period. Witchcraft and masculinities in early modern Europe redresses this imbalance by making men the main focus of analysis. What sort of men risked being accused of witchcraft, and why did some regions persecute more men as witches than others? Did the number of male victims increase during large-scale witch-panics? What ideas about masculinity underpinned the zeal of the men who acted as witch-hunters? To what extent were beliefs about the practice of magic gendered, and how did gender shape the ways in which werewolves were imagined and demonic possession was experienced? In this groundbreaking collection of essays, leading historians of early modern European witchcraft explore all these questions using original case-studies from England, Germany, Italy and France
