Rowling&#8217;s wildly popular Harry Potter series makes being a witch seem fun and exciting, being called a &#8220;witch&#8221; in colonial America was cause for serious alarm. Dr. Bridget Marshall, associate professor of English at University of Massachusetts, Lowell, discusses two particular accused witches: Mary Parsons of Northampton and Mary Webster of Hadley. Using documents and records from the 1600s, Marshall reconstructs these cases to find out just what being a &#8220;witch&#8221; meant back then.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Marshall\u2019s presentation will be video streamed at <a href=\"https:\/\/new.livestream.com\/hvccstreaming\/voices\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/new.livestream.com\/hvccstreaming\/voices<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Fri, 25 Oct 2013 12:00:38 +0000 by\u00a0r.matthews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The Voices: A Library Lecture Series committee is pleased to present \u201cThe Real Witches of New England: Two Cases&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2086,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[161],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-student-announcement-college-related"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2086"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1224"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1224\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
