- This 214,000-word sole-authored monograph is based on a quarter of a century of primary research in twelve major libraries in Britain, France and Germany, culminating in a three-year intensive project funded by the Leverhulme Trust. It is a study of the witch figure across all human space and time, drawing on 350 ethnographic studies and original source material from two millennia of European history. It has already been translated into Chinese and been an inspiration for an international conference at Lancaster University in 2019 and a session of the annual meeting of the American Academy of Religion in 2020
