Are they simply bewitching caricatures, or is there something more metaphysical that drives their continuing popularity? From the printed engravings of the 15th century to the images created by AI in the 21st century, witches continue to occupy a place in popular culture. They feature in art, literature, theatre, music, and film, and many more. Dr Julia Phillips will examine the role of the witch in popular culture, from its earlier depictions to the present day. Discover  why this figure  has remained so compelling, and how it has continually  evolved to embody  the fears, values and hopes of each generation.
