For Jacobean society, witchcraft was a potent force, an area of controversy in which King James 1 participated and a phenomenon that attracted many dramatists and writers. The three plays in this book "Sophonisba", "The Witch" and "The Witch of Edmonton" reflect the variety of beliefs in witches and practice of witchcraft in the Jacobean period.
