This thesis utilises a creative practice as research methodology to explore the testimony of a historical figure, Elspeth Reoch, an accused witch tried in Orkney, Scotland, in the year 1616. The exegesis consists of a close reading of Elspeth’s trial document that searches for her voice. This research informed a work of historiographic metafiction which considers the problems of retrieving Elspeth’s past. | en_US |
