Purkiss examines texts from colonial narratives to court masques to compose this study of the witch. Her narrative, goes far beyond the exploration of the figure of the witch to make an excellent contribution to early modern studies.
''Diane Purkiss ... insists on taking witches seriously. Her refusal to write witch-believers off as unenlightened has produced some richly intelligent meditations on their -- and our -- world.'' - The Observer
''An invigorating and challenging book ... sets many hares running.'' - The Times Higher Education Supplement
