Respond to the following essay questions. Be succinct --
information is much more important than volume. This is due at
the beginning of class on Monday., Jan. 26.
Provide a short summary of Margaret Murray's The God of the
Witches. What kinds of evidence does she use to support her
argument? At what points is her argument most convincing and why?
Critique the basic argument of Murray's book. At what points is her
argument weakest? Drawing from what you know of the European witch hunt
and its victims, how else might we interpret both that data and
Murrays?
