What are their motives, and how are they remembered and constructed within our culture? Evil Women: Representations within Literature, Culture and Film seeks to interrogate the nature and construction of evil women in the above fields. Through literature, poetry, history, ballads, film and real-life culture, scholars explore how the evil woman has been constructed and, in some cases, erased; the punishment and treatment of evil women; and the way evil women have been portrayed on and off screen through character, narrative and behind the camera development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes on Contributors   Introduction    Robyn Muir    part 1  Representation of Evil Women in Literature  1 The Domina: Early Psychological Perspectives on the Female Sadist    Elizabeth Schreiber-Byers    2 Missing Lady Macbeth Kierkegaard’s Allusions to Macbeth for Concepts of Sin, Gender, and Despair    Wendy M Bustamante    3 ‘Her Stocking Hanging Evilly’: Naomi’s Grotesque Body in ‘Kaddish’ by Allen Ginsberg    Nicola Scholes    4 ‘In a Halo of Snakes’: Avatars of Medusa in Contemporary British Women’s Poetry    Elena Nistor    part 2  Representation of Evil Women in Culture  5 The Perceived Evil of Female Bacchants and Their Subsequent Persecution by the Roman Government in 186 bce    Heather Moser    6 Strange, Evil, and Hard Hearted An Analysis of the Morality of Women in Appalachian Ballads    Heather Beltz and Kathryn Mann    7 The Hoodoo That You Do: Roots of Contemporary Management Practice    Alisea Williams McLeod    8 Sexual Homicide by Females    Theresa Porter and Charles Dike    part 3  Representation of Evil Women in Film  9 ‘They Thrive on the Dark and the Cold’: Evil Females, Femininity and Feminism in Guillermo Del Toro’s Crimson Peak (2015)    Marine Galiné    10 In Conversation with K.
