Notă biografică
Yvonne Owens writes art history, emotional histories, philosophy of art, and creative critical studies. Her publications to date have mainly focused on representations of women and the gendering of evil "defect" in classical humanist discourses, cross-referencing these figures to historical art, theology, literature, and the sciences. She also writes cultural criticism, exploring contemporary post-humanist discourses in art, literature and new media. She is currently exploring the intersections among science, the sacred and the arts.

Recenzii
This is an exceptional study. In the crowded field of witch research it stands out for many reasons; the breadth of material employed, the deep knowledge of primary and secondary sources, and the arrangement of an amazing wealth of scholarship around one artist, Hans Baldung Grien.
The images alone would be enough to recommend Yvonne Owens's study of Hans Baldung Grien, famous for his fleshly images of witches ... Yet Owens's patient feminist analysis also shows how Grien exploited medical and philosophical notions of female anatomy as "toxic" and "dangerously beguiling" ... his woodcuts and paintings depicted how "a monstrous female sexuality victimized men and brought them low."
