Desc:THE WITCH-CRAZE IN EARLY MODERN EUROPE - Between 1450 and 1750 thousands of persons, mostly women, were tried and executed for the crime of witchcraft. The resulting records present notable opportunities and interpretive challenges for historical analysis. This course will examine how the secular and religious authorities of early modern Europe came to believe that witches constituted a real and present danger to society. The resulting witchcraft prosecutions will be considered in relation to religious reform, political consolidation, social tensions, legal structures, intellectual developments, and gender issues. The course will investigate witchcraft and witch-hunting in both Continental Europe and the British Isles. Required for history majors. Preference given to History majors; other interested students welcome.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
