Abstract
In considering the multiple authorship and divergent plotlines of The Witch of Edmonton two main issues emerge. One is the relationship between Elizabeth Sawyer and the other women of the play, particularly Winnifride, while another issue which provides thematic coherence despite its apparent diversity is the use of ambiguity and equivocation to challenge established meaning and social structures within the play.
