From Macbeth to The Wizard of Oz, from the hysteria of witch trials
to emblems of 20th-century female empowerment, no matter how she is
portrayed, the witch is an enduring source of fear and fascination.
In this study, Diane Purkiss investigates the diverse
interpretations and meanings attributed to the figure of the witch,
encompassing a wide range of cultural norms which include Canonical
literature, such as Shelley and Yeats, visual arts, fairy tales,
folklore and real-life witch stories. Also considered are
pornography and sado-masochism, film, from the classic Swedish
Haxan to The Witches of Eastwick, and the stage, including
Shakespeare and Jonson.
