’Recasting the Bygone Witch: Representations of Lesser-Known Witches in Popular Culture’ is an interdisciplinary collection that explores witches across time, culture, and scholarly space. It brings together voices and perspectives from literature, game studies, political science, history, and more to examine the overlooked or misrepresented. Timely and profoundly relevant, the collection asks readers to participate in conversations about the bygone witch as a historical, cultural, and political figure while examining who gets remembered or labeled as a witch, and why.’Recasting the Bygone Witch’ features scholarship from an interdisciplinary, international cohort of scholars using a variety of methods to analyze and contextualize bygone witches in discussions of power, identity, and resistance. From biographical examinations of Pamela Colman Smith, Marjorie Cameron, Sybil Leek, and Urška Klakočar Zupančič, to art and literary analyses of The Fires of Bride, Thomas Middleton, and William Hogarth, and reimagining the witch’s presence in college classrooms, scholars place the bygone witch in conversation across disciplines. The collection also examines how witches manifest in popular culture, specifically the depiction of witches in (and on) social media, video games, and film.With a blend of rigorous research and accessible examples of bygone witches across socio-cultural spaces, ’Recasting the Bygone Witch: Representations of Lesser-Known Witches in Popular Culture’ is an act of reclamation and preservation.
