The Witch of Edmonton Rowley, Dekker, Ford &c.

November 4, 2009 10:30 am PST

We will be discussing Rowley, Dekker, Ford &c.’s The Witch of Edmonton. Please email Jessica at jessica.c.murphy at gmail.com if you would like to join the conversation.

There is a full text version of the play available on Luminarium: http://www.luminarium.org/editions/witchofedmonton.htm

What to Read?

I refuse to let our group languish. Thoughts about possible early modern English plays to read? I always like a good witchcraft or chastity play. I would like to have our online discussion at the end of October right after GEMCS in Dallas.

Please post your thoughts here as comments, thanks!
