What do witchcraft, crop damage, and property theft have in common? They were all major sources of anxiety for the English during the early modern period. Dr. Hannah Bowling, assistant professor of English, will speak on crime and punishment during the 1400-1600s. Learn about some of the famous (and infamous) court cases from this period and how early modern people were concerned with many of the same legal matters that we still worry about today.
