| Summary | "A History of Witchcraft in England from 1558 to 1718" by Wallace Notestein is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This detailed analysis explores the phenomenon of witchcraft in England during a significant period of English history, investigating societal beliefs, trials, and their implications across different social strata. The text aims to present a pure narrative of witch trials while also addressing the politics and public perceptions surrounding such events. The opening of the work introduces Notestein's methodology and scope, highlighting the necessity for a chronological exploration of significant witch trials and the pervasive misinformation that has surrounded the topic. The author aims to correct historical inaccuracies and provide a thorough examination of how witchcraft beliefs were intertwined with the social and political fabric of the time. Notestein shares his intentions to synthesize various sources, and notes the historical context starting from the rise of witchcraft legislation under Queen Elizabeth I, emphasizing an urgency to confront the complexities of legal and societal responses to witchcraft across the specified time frame.
