Not the 'Usual Suspects'? Male Witches, Witchcraft, and Masculinities in Early Modern Europe;A.Rowlands -- Male Witches in the Duchy of Lorraine; R.Briggs -- Men as Accused Witches in the HolyRoman Empire; R.Schulte -- Witch-Finders, Witch-Hunters or Kings of the Sabbath? The Prominent Roleof Men in the Mass Persecutions of the Rhine-Meuse Area (16th-17th Centuries); R.Voltmer -- Why Some Men and Not Others? The MaleWitches of Eichsättt; J.Durrant -- Giandomenico Fei, the Only Male Witch. A Tuscan or an Italian Anomaly? O.Di Simplicio -- Men and the Witch-Hunt in Scotland; J.Goodare -- Masculinity and Witchcraft in Seventeenth-Century England; M.Gaskill -- The Werewolf, the Witch, and the Warlock: Aspects of Gender in the Early Modern Period; W.de Bélcourt -- Possession and the Sexes; S.Ferber.

Men and masculinities are still incorporated inadequately into the history of early modern witch-trials, despite the fact that 20-25% of all the people accused of witchcraft across early modernEurope were male. This book redresses this imbalance by making men the main focus of analysis. Whatsort of men risked being accused of witchcraft in early modern Europe, and why did some regions persecute more men as witches than others? Did the numbers 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 modernEuropean witchcraft offer answers to these questions through original case-studies from England, Germany, Scotland, Italy and France.
