From the Cornell University
Library comes The World Bewitch'd, "an exhibition exploring the
origins and spread of the belief in witchcraft across Europe." This
exhibition "examine[s] such themes as gendered stereotypes, belief in
night flying and demonic pacts, forced confessions, and witch epidemics."
Here, interested readers can learn about the historical contexts and
conceptions of witchcraft, as well as get an overview of the persecution
accused witches faced and see how this cultural history plays into modern
portrayals. The exhibition incorporates material dating back to the fifteenth
century from the Cornell Witchcraft Collection, the largest of its kind in
North America, as well as images and video clips from more recent pop culture
examples. The online exhibition The World Bewitch'd was created to
complement a physical exhibition by the same name, which was on display in
Cornell's Hirschland Exhibition Gallery from October 31, 2017, until August 31,
2018. It was curated by Cornell University librarians Anne Kenney and Kornelia
Tancheva.
