Medea, Magic, and Modernity in France is written by Amy Wygant and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0754659240 (ISBN 10) and 9780754659242 (ISBN 13).
Revealing the surprising trajectory of our contemporary obsession with magic, Amy Wygant here follows the figure of Medea, the great antique witch and child-murderess, through her appearances on the early modern French stage from La Péruse to Corneille to Cherubini, by way of medical treatises, visual images, cultural practices, and poetics. This cross-disciplinary study shows that Medea is our mirror, and her story is the story of cultural performance.
