Description
This scholarly work bridges historical witchcraft, reception history, poetics, and psychoanalysis to examine how the figure of the witch transformed across three centuries in French culture. Centring on the antique heroine Medea-renowned as witch, poisoner, infanticide, and regicide-the study traces how perceptions of witchcraft evolved from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. The book investigates how the historical witch's glamour shifted from describing an action a woman performs to defining her very identity, revealing deep connections between classical mythology, theatrical representation, and early modern anxieties about female power. Published by Routledge, this innovative interdisciplinary analysis offers fresh perspectives on how Medea's legend was reimagined across French stages and historical documents, illuminating the cultural fascination with magic, femininity, and transgression during the early modern period.

Key Features

Examines the figure of Medea across three hundred years of French cultural history from 1553 to 1797.

Integrates historical witchcraft studies with reception history and psychoanalytic theory to analyse theatrical representations.

Explores how witchcraft transformed from an action performed to an identity possessed in early modern European culture.

Centres on Medea's multiple roles as poisoner, infanticide, regicide, and indefatigable traveller across classical and modern interpretations.
