A Fever in Salem: A New Interpretation of the New England Witch Trials
Laurie Winn Carlson
Offers an innovative, well-grounded explanation of witchcraft's link to organic illness. While most historians have concentrated on the accused, this book focuses on the afflicted. It compares the symptoms recorded in colonial diaries to those of the encephalitis epidemic and argues that the victims suffered from the same disease.
