en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 iun 2004
The Witch is a play written by Thomas Middleton in the early 17th century. It is a dark and disturbing story that explores the themes of revenge, betrayal, and the supernatural. The play revolves around a witch named Hecate, who seeks to take revenge on those who have wronged her. She enlists the help of a group of other witches and together they plot to cause chaos and destruction in the lives of their enemies. The play is filled with supernatural elements, including spells, curses, and visions, and it is often considered one of the most powerful works of English Renaissance drama. The Witch is a complex and challenging play that offers a glimpse into the dark and mysterious world of witchcraft and the occult.HECATE Titty and Tiffin, Suckin and Pidgen, Liard and Robin, White spirits, black spirits, grey spirits, red spirits, Devil-toad, devil-ram, devil-cat, and devil-dam!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The Witch (1615/16?), categorised by its author as 'a tragi-comedy',
pits the intrigues of a group of Italian aristocrats against the
malevolent practices of Hecate and her witches' coven, leaving the
audience with the impression that human malevolence is by far the
fiercer and more effective. This edition sets the play into its
dramatic and literary contexts, ranging from Shakespeare's Macbeth and
Middleton's own later tragedies to Reginald Scot's sceptical Discovery
of Witchcraft and King James's virulent Daemonologie. It also argues
that Middleton wrote it as a topical satire to capitalise on the
scandal involving Frances Howard, who obtained a divorce from the Earl
of Essex on the grounds that he had been sexually incapacitated by
witchcraft; she was also rumoured to have tried to poison him.
Middleton exposes his noble characters precisely by letting them get
away with murder.
