At the center of this remarkable 1621 play is the story of
Elizabeth Sawyer, the titular "Witch of Edmonton," a woman who had
in fact been executed for the crime of witchcraft mere months
before the play's first performance. Yet hers is only one of
several plots that animate The Witch of Edmonton. Blending
sensational drama with domestic tragedy and comic farce, this
complex and multi-layered play by Dekker, Ford, and Rowley
emphasizes the mundane realities and interpersonal conflicts that
are so often at the heart of sensational occurrences. This edition
of their work offers a compelling and informative introduction,
thorough annotation, and a selection of contextual materials that
helps set the play in the context of the "witch-craze" of Jacobean
England.
