Description: In this study, Diane Purkiss investigates the diverse interpretations and meanings attributed to the figure of the witch. The areas she considers include Canonical literature, visual arts, fairy tales, folklore, real-life witch stories, pornography and sado-masochism, film, and the stage.
Synopsis: '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
