Description

Witch hunts were important events that shaped the people and literature of their time. Calling this to memory makes new insights possible. If we look one of the most well-researched works of literature, Goethe’s Faust, we find that this drama contains much more historical reality than previously perceived. Examining the topic of witches reveals meaningful voids in literary studies that social history receives and writes.
