| Summary: | As critics of McCarthyism derided the period's anti-Communist campaign as a "witch hunt," the 1950s Broadway drama The Crucible underscored the link between contemporary political investigations and the 1692 Salem witch trials. The Specter of Salem reveals that this twentieth-century cultural moment, often cited as marking the emergence of such associations, actually followed a long and colorful history of appeals to American memories of the witch trials. From the American Revolution through the nineteenth century, Gretchen Adams demonstrates, this collective memory loomed large in public life.
