"Conversely, the book exploits crime to shed light on the long-term development of English mentalities in general. To this end, three serious crimes - witchcraft, coining (counterfeiting and coin-clipping) and murder - are examined in detail, using a wide range of primary sources, revealing insights into how religious reform, state formation, secularisation, and social and cultural change (for example, the spread of literacy and the availability of print) may have transformed the thinking and outlook of most ordinary people between 1550 and 1750."--BOOK JACKET. | |
