This book explores the representation of witchcraft in early modern drama, situating it within the discourse of scepticism and credulity that characterised the witchcraft debate, and the historical events which inspired much witchcraft drama. It covers the drama of the Elizabethan period and the Restoration as well as Jacobean witch plays. -- .
