This paper examines the first season of the television series A Discovery of Witches , adapted from Deborah Harkness’s All Souls trilogy. It explores how the narrative utilizes the "found manuscript" trope—specifically the elusive Ashmole 782 —to bridge the gap between historical academic rigor and contemporary supernatural fantasy. By analyzing the relationship between protagonist Diana Bishop and vampire Matthew Clairmont, the study argues that the series recontextualizes traditional "star-crossed" tropes through the lens of genetic science and alchemical philosophy.
