Description

This scholarly work by Heidi Breuer examines how magical figures transformed across English Arthurian romance from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Early medieval texts portrayed magic as a masculine pursuit conferring prestige and power, whilst later texts repositioned magic as primarily feminine and associated with wickedness and heresy. Breuer investigates both literary and social motivations behind this gendered shift, addressing the central question of why the witch became wicked. Published by Routledge as part of the Studies in Medieval History and Culture series, this book bridges medieval and early modern periods to offer comprehensive analysis of how gender shaped perceptions of magic in English literature and society during this transformative era.

Analyzes shift from masculine magic as prestigious pursuit to feminine magic marked as wicked and heretical in later texts.

Explores literary and social motivations behind the changing portrayal of witches in medieval and early modern England.
