Garrett examines "a range of archival materials—witchcraft treatises, demonologies, trial depositions, popular pamphlets, and dramatic literature" revealing "that beliefs and practices concerning witchcraft were the site of a complex discourse about sexuality."

Feeling a little witchy? So are we…currently revisiting two really witchy articles by Deborah Willis & Julia M. Garrett from JEMCS 13.1 🧙‍♀️🕯️ 🐈‍⬛ #earlymodern #witches #witchyvibes #witchcraft @PennPress

[JEMCS @JEMCStudies]

[Sam Fallon @SM_Fallon]

My contribution, "Formal Men: On Parody and Character," tries to develop an account of character's relation to parody by way of Nashe and Jonson, Overbury and Earle, and a little Spenser and Marlowe, plus some Bergson and Ngai.

[Sam Fallon @SM_Fallon]

Very glad to be in this special issue of @JEMCStudies on "Character Beyond Shakespeare," edited by the outstanding Harry Newman (@ThePaperStage) and expertly guided into print by @cjkhourygrad. It's a terrific set of essays on a topic of growing interest in the field.
