Description

Explore the evolution of magic and gender through this innovative study by Routledge. This book connects historical witchcraft, reception history, poetics, and psychoanalysis to examine how the concept of glamour changed over three centuries in France. From 1553 to 1797, the study tracks the shift from the historical witch's active spells to a broadcast glamour of appearance. It examines how a woman's identity moved from something she does to something she has. By using the figure of the antique heroine Medea, the text analyzes a complex character known as a witch, barbarian, and infamous poisoner. This research provides a deep look at how these historical stages shaped modern perceptions of femininity and magic.
