{"product_id":"the-witch-of-edmonton-gordon-mcmullan-9781472503282","title":"The Witch of Edmonton","description":"On 19 April 1621, a woman named Elizabeth Sawyer was hanged at Tyburn. Her story was on the bookstalls within days and within weeks was adapted for the stage as \u003ci\u003eThe Witch of Edmonton\u003c\/i\u003e. The devil stalks Edmonton in the shape of a large black dog and, just as Elizabeth Sawyer makes her demonic pact, the newlywed Frank Thorney enters into his own dark bargain in the shape of a second, bigamous marriage. Torn between sympathy for Sawyer and Thorney and a clear-eyed assessment of their crimes, the play was the finest and most nuanced treatment of witchcraft that the stage would see for centuries. Lucy Munro's introduction provides students and scholars with a detailed understanding of this complex play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gordon McMullan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472503287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472503282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arden Shakespeare\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Gordon McMullan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46199096017151,"sku":"9781472503282","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c743c3e6-4e11-48a5-a756-ceb8c59b0735.jpg?v=1727925025","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-witch-of-edmonton-gordon-mcmullan-9781472503282","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
