The Drama, Vol. 22 (Classic Reprint): Classic Curiosities of Dramatic Literature - Couverture souple
Synopsis
This book is a theatrical play written in the late 17th century. The plot revolves around Sir Edward Hartfort's anxieties over his daughter's marriage, which is compounded by the arrival of the foolish Sir Timothy, who hopes to wed her. At the same time, Sir Edward and his family become convinced their home is beset by witches. Their accounts of strange occurrences are met with skepticism by visitors, particularly the work of one 'Mother Demdike', who they believe is responsible for the odd behaviors of the family and their servants. The author uses this sequence to explore themes of class, family, and the social anxieties of a period of significant economic and religious change in England. The book's vivid characters and compelling story highlight the complex and contradictory nature of society and class dynamics at the time, and provide insights into early modern understandings of witchcraft and superstition.
