Crafting the Witch by Heidi Breuer

Crafting the Witch by Heidi Breuer

How did the witch become wicked? This is the central question of Crafting the Witch, which documents and analyzes the gendered transformation of magical figures that occurred in Arthurian romance as it developed from its earliest continental manifestations in the twelfth century to its flowering in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century England.

'There is much to recommend in this bookIt is engagingly written, even when dealing with difficult concepts, and the linking of medieval with modern representations of magic is fascinating, especially because many students are first attracted to studying magic because of modern TV shows or novels ... Overall, this is a stimulating and accessible contribution to a growing field, and has much to interest historians of medieval and early modern magic.' – Reviews in History
