Reviews

’Wygant’s writing is lively and clever. She converses with a dizzying variety of critics and generously references the contributions of colleagues in the field. ...Wygant’s book is of prime importance for scholars and students of early modern French theater, witchcraft theory, and mythological adaptations, while her methodology will stimulate those engaged in psychoanalytical approaches to early modern literature and culture.’ H-France
