The Desire to Reject Witchcraft in New England: Its Origin, Development, and End (Volume 1 of 3) is an exploration of the hot topic of witchcraft in seventeenth-century New England by Calef Robert, co-author with Cotton Mather. In this book, the authors provide a detailed analysis of the origins, spread, and eventual termination of the mass persecution of witchcraft in New England. They reveal the socio-cultural and religious context that underpinned these events, highlighting the different perspectives, motivations and consequences of the witchcraft hysteria of the time. This book is a valuable document of the history and mentality of Puritan New England, and in particular reflects the complexity and contradictions of religious beliefs and social relationships in the exploratory phase of American history.
