2671712The Witch of Edmontonhttps://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-witch-of-edmonton-9781408144244/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3099943/91800621-4fc3-42ec-90d8-296ca1fff9db.jpg?v=638384880255730000231243MXNBloomsbury PublishingInStock/Ebooks/<p>It is a historical phenomenon that while thousands of women were being<br />burnt as witches in early modern Europe, the English - although there<br />were a few celebrated trials and executions, one of which the play<br />dramatises - were not widely infected by the witch-craze. The stage<br />seems to have provided an outlet for anxieties about witchcraft, as<br />well as an opportunity for public analysis. <em>The Witch of Edmonton</em><br />(1621) manifests this fundamentally reasonable attitude, with Dekker<br />insisting on justice for the poor and oppressed, Ford providing<br />psychological character studies, and Rowley the clowning. The village<br />community of Edmonton feels threatened by two misfits, Old Mother<br />Sawyer, who has turned to the devil to aid her against her unfeeling<br />neighbours, and Frank, who refuses to marry the woman of his fathers<br />choice and ends up murdering her. This edition shows how the play<br />generates sympathy for both and how contemporaries would have responded<br />to its presentation of village life and witchcraft.</p>...2607861The Witch of Edmonton231243https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-witch-of-edmonton-9781408144244/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3099943/91800621-4fc3-42ec-90d8-296ca1fff9db.jpg?v=638384880255730000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20149781408144244_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_<p>It is a historical phenomenon that while thousands of women were being<br />burnt as witches in early modern Europe, the English - although there<br />were a few celebrated trials and executions, one of which the play<br />dramatises - were not widely infected by the witch-craze.
