Her story was on the bookstalls within days and within weeks was adapted  for the stage as \u003ci\u003eThe Witch of Edmonton\u003c\/i\u003e. The devil stalks  Edmonton in the shape of a large black dog and, just as Elizabeth Sawyer  makes her demonic pact, the newlywed Frank Thorney enters into his own  dark bargain in the shape of a second, bigamous marriage. Torn between  sympathy for Sawyer and Thorney and a clear-eyed assessment of their  crimes, the play was the finest and most nuanced treatment of witchcraft  that the stage would see for centuries. Lucy Munro's introduction provides students and scholars with a detailed understanding of this complex play.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLucy Munro\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer in Early Modern English Literature at King's College London, UK.
