Book Synopsis The Witch of Edmonton by : Lucy Munro

Download or read book The Witch of Edmonton written by Lucy Munro and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-15 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 19 April 1621, a woman named Elizabeth Sawyer was hanged at Tyburn. Her story was on the bookstalls within days and within weeks was adapted for the stage as The Witch of Edmonton. The devil stalks Edmonton in the shape of a large black dog and, just as Elizabeth Sawyer makes her demonic pact, the newlywed Frank Thorney enters into his own dark bargain in the shape of a second, bigamous marriage. Torn between sympathy for Sawyer and Thorney and a clear-eyed assessment of their crimes, the play was the finest and most nuanced treatment of witchcraft that the stage would see for centuries. Lucy Munro's introduction provides students and scholars with a detailed understanding of this complex play.
