Witchcraft and Quakerism: A Study in Social History is a book written by Amelia Mott Gummere that explores the relationship between witchcraft and Quakerism during the 17th century in England and America. The book provides a detailed account of the persecution of witches and Quakers during this period, and how the two groups were often conflated by authorities. Gummere examines the social and cultural factors that led to the rise of witch hunts and the persecution of Quakers, including the fear of religious dissent and the desire for social control. She also explores the ways in which Quakers responded to accusations of witchcraft and how they worked to protect their members from persecution. Throughout the book, Gummere draws on primary sources such as court records, letters, and diaries to provide a nuanced and detailed account of this complex and often misunderstood period in history. She also provides an analysis of the lasting impact of these events on Quakerism and the wider society. Overall, Witchcraft and Quakerism: A Study in Social History is a fascinating and insightful exploration of the intersection of religion, culture, and power during a tumultuous period in history. It sheds light on the experiences of those who were persecuted for their beliefs and provides a valuable perspective on the ongoing struggle for religious freedom and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
