No. The human beings of Salem Village, those colonial villagers with their individual psychologies full of emotion and thought, stress, ambition and passion, are hardly present in the histories, or merely presented as two-dimensional characters in a time-line narrative. The human dimension would need to be "fleshed out" and "filled in" for anyone to really understand the "how" and "why" of what happened in Salem Village in 1692. Well researched historical fiction (not nonfiction) can provide this level of insight that is missing in the works of historians. Fictional interpretations that make sense about the Salem witch hunt do exist.
