Description

Explore the historical shift of magic from a masculine pursuit to a feminine stigma in this academic study. Crafting the Witch examines the transformation of magical figures within Arthurian romance in England from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries. Heidi Breuer investigates how magic, once a source of prestige and power for men, evolved into an activity associated with wickedness and heresy for women. This research looks at the literary and social motivations behind this change, seeking to answer why the perception of the witch became so negative over time. Part of the Studies in Medieval History and Culture series, this book provides a deep look at the social and literary history of medieval and early modern England. It is an essential resource for readers interested in gender studies, medieval history, and the evolution of folklore and magic in British culture.
