| Sumario: | This paper approaches the topic of witchcraft in Scotland to expose underlying reasons thatcould have contributed to the persecution of specific individuals. The Last Witch of Scotland(2023), a historical novel by Philip Paris, showcases this statement as it narrates the story ofJanet Horne. The close reading of the novel with the use of both feminist and critical disabilitylenses allows me to conclude that women with disabilities were more prone to be stigmatised.This thesis highlights the invisible able-bodied norm of early modern society and draws aconnection to the 21st century, where these issues persist. |
