Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Amerika, Note: 1,7, Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Trotz ihres Ausmaßes und ihrer zweifellosen Bedeutung in der amerikanischen Geschichte sind dieHexenprozesse von Salem in Europa vergleichsweise unbekannt geblieben. Die Verfolgung vonHexen wird allgemein als ein auf Europa beschränktes Problem betrachtet. Oftmals wird hierbeiaber außer Acht gelassen, dass die europäischen Siedler, allen voran die englischen Puritaner, beiihrer Auswanderung diesen Aspekt der europäischen Kultur mit sich nach Amerika brachten. Mansah demzufolge die Existenz von Hexerei und ebenso die Verfolgung der Hexen auch auf demNeuen Kontinent als selbstverständlichen Teil der Realität an1. Dieser Umstand bot - neben anderenAspekten - den nötigen Nährboden für die Salem witch trials im Neuengland des Jahres 1692.Die entsprechenden Entwicklungen nahmen ihren Anfang bei der Tochter und der Nichte des Geistlichen Samuel Parris von Salem. Bei den beiden Mädchen traten so genannte fits2 auf, d.h. Anfälle begleitet von Krämpfen und anderen außergewöhnlichen Symptomen, gegen die weder dieKirche noch die Medizin adäquate Gegenmittel fand. Die fits, auch afflictions genannt, breitetensich in kürzester Zeit vor allem unter den jüngeren, weiblichen Bewohnern Salems aus. Nachdemeine Gruppe junger Mädchen, bei denen jene afflictions zuerst aufgetreten waren, verschiedeneBewohner Salems der Hexerei bezichtigt hatten, zog die nun beginnende Verfolgung weite Kreise.Am Ende der Gerichtsverhandlungen im Oktober des Jahres 1692 waren 19 Personen gehängt undein Mann zu Tode gepresst worden sowie vier weitere Menschen in der Haft verstorben3. Insgesamt waren Anzeigen gegen etwa 144 Menschen, überwiegend Frauen, vorgebracht worden4. Die Prozesse endeten erst auf Grund wachsender Kritik und der Anklage von 'Stützen derGesellschaft' wie dem Präsidenten von Harvard oder der Frau eines Prozessbeisitzers5.Viel zu
Book Synopsis The Devil Discovered by : Enders A. Robinson
Download or read book The Devil Discovered written by Enders A. Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overview: The Salem witch hunt of 1692 represents one of the grimmest events in early American history. It is the story of innocent people caught in a web of intrigue from which they could not extricate themselves. The author, himself a descendant of one of those executed, argues masterfully that the witch hunt was driven by conspiracies of envious men intent on destroying their enemies. Sanctioned by the old guard of Puritan leaders, these men arrested two hundred people for witchcraft, twenty-eight of whom were executed or died in prison. The convergence of religious, social, political, and economic forces that sparked the accusations and trials are laid out clearly and concisely, exploring the motives and relationships of those who fanned the flames of the witch hunt. Robinson also provides a closer look at the lives of seventy-five of the people accused as witches, analyzing their places in the community and shedding light on why they were targeted.

Download or read book The Story of the Salem Witch Trials written by Bryan F. Le Beau and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-24 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing an accessible and comprehensive overview, The Story of the Salem Witch Trials explores the events between June 10 and September 22, 1692, when nineteen people were hanged, one was pressed to death and over 150 were jailed for practicing witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts. This book explores the history of that event and provides a synthesis of the most recent scholarship on the subject. It places the trials into the context of the Great European Witch-Hunt and relates the events of 1692 to witch-hunting throughout seventeenth-century New England. Now in a third edition, this book has been updated to include an expanded section on the European origins of witch-hunts, an updated and expanded epilogue (which discusses the witch-hunts, real and imagined, historical and cultural, since 1692), and an extensive bibliography. This complex and difficult subject is covered in a uniquely accessible manner that captures all the drama that surrounded the Salem witch trials. From beginning to end, the reader is carried along by the author’s powerful narration and mastery of the subject. While covering the subject in impressive detail, Bryan Le Beau maintains a broad perspective on the events and, wherever possible, lets the historical characters speak for themselves. Le Beau highlights the decisions made by individuals responsible for the trials that helped turn what might have been a minor event into a crisis that has held the imagination of students of American history. This third edition of The Story of the Salem Witch Trials is essential for students and scholars alike who are interested in women’s and gender history, colonial American history, and early modern history.

Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Amerika, Note: 1,7, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, Veranstaltung: Übung Hexenverfolgungen in der Frühen Neuzeit, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Mit Hexenprozessen verbindet man meistens die großen Verfolgungswellen von angeblichen Hexen in der frühen Neuzeit in Europa. Dass es auch Verfolgungen in den Gebieten der späteren Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika gab, ist jedoch nicht so bekannt. Solch eine Hexenverfolgung stellen die Salem Witch Trials des Jahres 1692 in der englischen Kolonie Massachusetts dar. Diese sind in der US-amerikanischen Frühgeschichte seit jeher populär und erfreuen sich vieler schriftlicher und wissenschaftlichen Abhandlungen. In vielerlei Hinsicht sind die Hexenprozesse von Salem gegenüber anderen Prozessen dieser Art different. So handelt es sich hierbei nicht um eine Hexenjagd in Europa und auch nicht in einer katholisch sondern protestantisch geprägten Umgebung. Des weiteren sind diese Hexenprozesse Kinderhexenprozesse, das heißt, dass die treibenden Kräfte in diesem Hexenprozess Minderjährige waren. Die Ursachen für das Ausbrechen der Hexenverfolgung in Salem sind aus meiner Sicht monokausal nicht zu erklären. Viele Historiker und Wissenschaftler haben seit jeher mehr oder weniger plausible Theorien aufgestellt. Diese reichen von einer Verschwörung des örtlichen Pastors über einen Dorfzwist zwischen den mächtigen Familien Porter und Putnam bis zu Theorien, die eine Vergiftung der Opfer mit Mutterkorn in Verbindung bringt. Die hier vorliegende Hausarbeit dient jedoch nicht dazu, herauszufinden welche Ursachen diese Prozesse hatten. Vielmehr soll der Fokus dieser Arbeit auf die Personen und den Prozess gelenkt werden. Da mehrere hundert Menschen in diesem Prozess angeklagt wurden, ist es unmöglich jeden einzelnen Fall zu beleuchten, ohne den Rahmen zu sprengen. Daher beschränke ich mich hierbei auf einige, in meinen Augen wichtige Beispielsfälle und Personen, die maßg
Download or read book The Witches written by Stacy Schiff and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Cleopatra, the #1 national bestseller, unpacks the mystery of the Salem Witch Trials. It began in 1692, over an exceptionally raw Massachusetts winter, when a minister's daughter began to scream and convulse. It ended less than a year later, but not before 19 men and women had been hanged and an 80-year-old man crushed to death. The panic spread quickly, involving the most educated men and prominent politicians in the colony. Neighbors accused neighbors, parents and children each other. Aside from suffrage, the Salem Witch Trials represent the only moment when women played the central role in American history. In curious ways, the trials would shape the future republic. As psychologically thrilling as it is historically seminal, THE WITCHES is Stacy Schiff's account of this fantastical story-the first great American mystery unveiled fully for the first time by one of our most acclaimed historians.

Book Synopsis In the Devil's Snare by : Mary Beth Norton
Download or read book In the Devil's Snare written by Mary Beth Norton and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning historian Mary Beth Norton reexamines the Salem witch trials in this startlingly original, meticulously researched, and utterly riveting study. In 1692 the people of Massachusetts were living in fear, and not solely of satanic afflictions. Horrifyingly violent Indian attacks had all but emptied the northern frontier of settlers, and many traumatized refugees—including the main accusers of witches—had fled to communities like Salem. Meanwhile the colony’s leaders, defensive about their own failure to protect the frontier, pondered how God’s people could be suffering at the hands of savages. Struck by the similarities between what the refugees had witnessed and what the witchcraft “victims” described, many were quick to see a vast conspiracy of the Devil (in league with the French and the Indians) threatening New England on all sides. By providing this essential context to the famous events, and by casting her net well beyond the borders of Salem itself, Norton sheds new light on one of the most perplexing and fascinating periods in our history.
Download or read book Death in Salem written by Diane Foulds and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-08-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salem witchcraft will always have a magnetic pull on the American psyche. During the 1692 witch trials, more than 150 people were arrested. An estimated 25 million Americans—including author Diane Foulds—are descended from the twenty individuals executed. What happened to our ancestors? Death in Salem is the first book to take a clear-eyed look at this complex time, by examining the lives of the witch trial participants from a personal perspective. Massachusetts settlers led difficult lives; every player in the Salem drama endured hardships barely imaginable today. Mercy Short, one of the “bewitched” girls, watched as Indians butchered her parents; Puritan minister Cotton Mather outlived all but three of his fifteen children. Such tragedies shaped behavior and, as Foulds argues, ultimately played a part in the witch hunt’s outcome. A compelling “who’s who” to Salem witchcraft, Death in Salem profiles each of these historical personalities as it asks: Why was this person targeted?

This book was released on 2007-07-19 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europas - Mittelalter, Frühe Neuzeit, Note: 2,3, Universität zu Köln (Historische Seminar/ Anglo-Amerikanische Abteilung), Veranstaltung: Seminar, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Seminararbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Hexenprozessen von Salem des Jahres 1692. Auch im 21. Jahrhundert kommt der Interpretation der Ereignisse dieses kurzen Zeitabschnittes eine große Bedeutung zu, da sie zeigen, welche Folgen Hysterien auf die Menschen haben können, was gerade in der Zeit der Atomenergie verheerende Auswirkungen auf die Menschheit haben könnte. Die Einwohner von Salem hatten zwar nicht die Ressourcen, die den Menschen des 21. Jahrhunderts zur Verfügung stehen, doch führten die Ereignisse in Salem zu Misstrauen und der Angst vor Denunziationen innerhalb der Bevölkerung, so dass eine Verdächtigung gegen andere Personen zumeist die beste Verteidigung war. Die Ereignisse dieser Zeit beschäftigen seit über 300 Jahren die Historiker. Die verschiedensten Erklärungsansätze für das Verhalten der „besessenen“ Mädchen wurden entwickelt: Im 18. Jahrhundert sah man die Anfälle der Mädchen als Wiederaufleben des religiösen Eifers an (keine diabolische, sondern göttliche Visionen) , Paul Boyer und Stephen Nissenbaum erklären die Vorkommnisse anhand eines soziologischen Interpretationsansatzes und identifizieren die Gemeinde von Salem Village und deren divergierende Parteiungen als Ausgangspunkt für die Hexenverfolgungen , und Bernhard Rosenthal hält die Möglichkeit des wissentlichen Betruges seitens der Mädchen für die wahrscheinlichste Möglichkeit . Daneben gibt es noch Arbeiten, die sich mit psychologischen Ansätzen Antworten zu verschaffen suchen, und selbst medizinisch-biologische Modelle, so die Ergot-Theorie , werden in Betracht gezogen.

Download or read book Salem Story written by Bernard Rosenthal and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salem Story engages the story of the Salem witch trials by contrasting an analysis of the surviving primary documentation with the way events of 1692 have been mythologised by our culture. Resisting the temptation to explain the Salem witch trials in the context of an inclusive theoretical framework, the book examines a variety of individual motives that converged to precipitate the witch-hunt. Of the many assumptions about the Salem witch trials, the most persistent is that they were instigated by a circle of hysterical girls. Through an analysis of what actually happened - by perusal of the primary materials with the 'close reading' approach of a literary critic - a different picture emerges, one where 'hysteria' inappropriately describes the logical, rational strategies of accusation and confession followed by the accusers, males and females alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Something wicked was brewing in the small town of Salem, Massachusetts in 1692.

With no scientific explanation available, the residents of Salem came to one conclusion: it was witchcraft! Over the next year and a half, nineteen people were convicted of witchcraft and hanged while more languished in prison as hysteria swept the colony.

Book excerpt: 'An oppressive, forensic, psychological thriller: J.K. Rowling meets Antony Beevor, Stephen King and Marina Warner ... Schiff's writing is to die for' THE TIMES It began in 1692, over an exceptionally raw Massachusetts winter, when a minister's niece started to scream and convulse. It ended less than a year later, but not before panic had infected the entire colony, nineteen men and women had been hanged, and a band of adolescent girls had brought Massachusetts to its knees. Vividly capturing the dark, unsettled atmosphere of seventeenth-century America, Stacy Schiff's magisterial history draws us into this anxious time. She shows us how quickly the epidemic of accusations, trials, and executions span out of control. Above all, Schiff's astonishing research reveals details and complexity that few other historians have seen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salem, Massachusetts, 1692. In a plain meetinghouse a woman stands before her judges. The accusers, girls and young women, are fervent and overexcited. The accused is a poor, unpopular woman who had her first child before she was married. As the trial proceeds the girls begin to wail, tear their clothing, and scream that the woman is hurting them. Some of them expose wounds to the horrified onlookers, holding out the pins that have stabbed them -- pins that appeared as if by magic. Are they acting or are they really tormented by an unseen evil? Whatever the cause, the nightmare has begun: The witch trials will eventually claim twenty-five lives, shatter the community, and forever shape the American social conscience.
