The Discovery of Witches: A Study of Master Matthew Hopkins Commonly Called Witch Finder General 1647 is a book written by Montague Summers. The book is a historical study of the notorious figure, Matthew Hopkins, who was known as the Witch Finder General during the 17th century in England. The book explores the life of Hopkins, his methods of identifying and prosecuting witches, and the impact of his actions on the witchcraft trials that took place during his time. The author provides a detailed account of the social and political climate of the time, which contributed to the rise of witch hunts and the persecution of those accused of witchcraft.
