Books by Ronald Hutton

Why have societies all across the world feared witchcraft? This book delves deeply into its context, beliefs, and origins in Europe's history

In his new introduction to this second edition, Ronald Hutton places his vivid account of the royalist war effort into modern historical context, bringing the reader up-to-date with the recent developments in the study of the civil war.

Ronald Hutton's book provides a concise synthesis of recent research into this area - now brought up-to-date to include the research of the 1990s. He also looks at the increasingly studied figure of Cromwell, and how recent research has brought both the man and his government to life.
