""The Witch In Dramatic Literature"" by Montague Summers is a comprehensive study of the portrayal of witches in plays from ancient Greece to the 20th century. The book examines the historical and cultural context of witchcraft beliefs and practices, as well as the literary conventions and themes that have shaped the representation of witches on stage. Summers analyzes the works of playwrights such as Shakespeare, Marlowe, and Goethe, as well as lesser-known works from the medieval and Renaissance periods. He also explores the ways in which witches have been depicted as both powerful and dangerous figures, and as victims of persecution and injustice. This book offers a fascinating insight into the enduring fascination with witches in dramatic literature, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of witchcraft and its representation in the arts.THIS 44 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: History of Witchcraft and Demonology, by Montague Summers.
