HIST 4110A

This course will examine the development and evolution of witch-hunting in Scotland from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Particular attention will be paid to the use of the phenomenon as a resource for the study of popular cultures, conceptions and constructions of gender and the political and religious turmoil of the period. Please note that this is part one of a two part course. Students must also register in the corresponding "B" section of this course for the second semester. No credit will be given until both parts of this course have been successfully completed.
