Book Reviews of Salem Story: Reading the Witch Trials of 1692 (Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture)
Book Review: A more objective view on Salem...
Summary: 4 Stars
An engaging and informative book that focuses on the different theories surrounding the reasons behind the accusations and the accusers' motives.I would recommend this to anyone who is writing about or who wants to find out more about the Salem Witch Trials. This is one of the most objective criticisms I have read on the subject and it maintains its interest all the way through.
