What is ‘Solomonic exceptionalism’? How was  grimoire magic set apart from witchcraft, fairy magic and prophecy in the time of Shakespeare? What grimoires were available when early modern dramatists like William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, Ben Johnson and many others were portraying magicians, evocatory procedures and magical implements on stage? Dr. Rebekah King - scholar and award-winning playwright - takes us behind the curtain to discuss her thesis ‘Solomon on Stage, Representations of Magic and the Occult in Early Modern English Drama’. She also answers your Glitch Bottle Patreon listener questions and more!
