Afterlives of Endor offers an analysis of the way Early Modern English literature addressed the period's anxieties about witchcraft and theatricality. Levine examines the way literary texts such as Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale and The Tempest, Spenser's The Faerie Queene, and Marlowe's Tragicall History of Doctor Faustus address anxieties about witchcraft, illusion, and theatricality.
