In dit boek toont de auteur hoe de heks als drager gebruikt wordt voor angsten, verlangens en fantasieën van vrouwen en mannen nu en in de vroeg moderne periode. Hiervoor maakt ze gebruikt van onder meer koloniale verhalen, processtukken, volksverhalen, Shakespeare en Sylvia Platt.Zo toont onder meer aan hoe het gefantaseerde lichaam van de heks, gezien als hard en grenzeloos, de angst voor het moederlichaam voorstelt, hoe Macbeth en andere Renaissance drama's exploiterende en sensationele representaties van hekserij zijn, hoe de beeldvorming van hekserij in Europa beïnvloed is door ontmoetingen in de Nieuwe Wereld met de Indiaanse religie, en vice versa, hoe volgens haar radicale feministen, moderne heksen en academische historici de figuur van de heks toegeëigend hebben om hun eigen identiteiten te vormen.

Building on recent critical work, this volume offers a comprehensive consideration of the nature and forms of medieval and early modern childhoods, viewed through literary cultures. Its five groups of thematic essays range across a spectrum of disciplines, periods, and locations, from cultural anthropology and folklore to performance studies and the history of science, and from Anglo-Saxon burial sites to colonial America. Contributors include several renowned writers for children. The opening group of essays, Educating Children, explores what is perhaps the most powerful social engine for the shaping of a child. Performing Childhood addresses children at work and the role of play in the development of social imitation and learning. Literatures of Childhood examines texts written for children that reveal alternative conceptions of parent/child relations. In Legacies of Childhood, expressions of grief at the loss of a child offer a window into the family’s conceptions and values. Finally, Fictionalizing Literary Cultures for Children considers the real, material child versus the fantasy of the child as a subject.
