The play "The Witch of Edmonton" depicts a compassion for Sawyer. It strives to inspire some sympathy for women like Sawyer who had been accused of witchcraft. The author explains in greater detail the trial of Sawyer that might serve as a paradigm for the study of witch trials in early modern England. She argues that the playwrights focus on social alienation or even abuse toward suspects that often laid the foundation for suspicions of criminal conduct, rather than focusing solely on the crimes attributed to such women. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Literary Criticism src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Criticism is the property of Wayne State University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
