HIST 3118: Magic and Witchcraft in Europe: Option B

Since books in LSU Library are organized by subject, most books on the subject of magic and witchcraft will be found in the section BF 1404-2055, which is the section on "occult sciences." However, some books may be organized according to the area of history studied. For example, books on the Elizabethan Age in Great Britain can be found in DA 350-360. I recommend searching the catalog by keyword or subject to find a book or two and then perusing the shelves for other related books near it. To get you started, here are a sample of some of the books related to this class, available in the stacks and online.

You may find it useful to look at other historiographies on your topic, both to get ideas of how to structure your essay and to get ideas of books you might look for.

You can search the catalog using the search strategy: topic AND historiography (for example, Britain and historiography). For other historiographies, check out one of the publications below, which specifically publish essays and books of historiography.

Use the following to search by subject in the catalog and databases to locate materials on your topic:
