First, a suggestion from Dr. Bennett:
For a quick introduction to the Witch Craze, see: Merry Wiesner, WOMEN AND GENDER IN EARLY MODERN EUROPE (1993), pp. 218-238.
In searching for web-based resources, Kathy Walbert was able to find the following:
Found on a website for Michael S. Seiferth's WWW-based courses at Palo Alto College, this article provides some useful information: Elspeth Whitney, "International Trends: The Witch 'She'/The Historian 'He'" in The Journal of Women's History (Indiana University Press Fall 1995). In case the hot link doesn't work, the site address is: http://lonestar.texas.net/~mseifert/puritan16.html
The
Stella Australis Witchcraze History site (part of an Australian site on
paganism) provides a great deal of useful information, although I was not
able to find much information about its author(s). The site, though,
includes many links to primary and secondary sources on the web, as well
as timelines and some facts and figures about various witch hunts.
You can find it at: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/2962/witch.html.
The site includes an extensive bibliography of witchcraft-related sources,
found at http://www.geocities.com/Athens/2962/witch_bib.html
and also includes a newer bibliography of academic titles on witchcraft,
some of which include hotlinks to reviews of the books. The newer
bibliography can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/2962/witchbks.html
