Stories of witchcraft accusations, trials and executions
have captured writers’ and artists’ imaginations in the centuries since the
events took place. Many interpretations
have taken liberties with the facts of the historical episode in the name of
literary and/or artistic license. As the
trials took place between the gradually disappearing medieval past and the
emerging enlightenment, some interpretations draw attention to the boundaries
between medieval and post-medieval as cultural constructions.
