    En definitiva, esperamos que este libro sirva para que el curioso lector encuentre nuevas vías de aproximación al siempre fascinante mundo del portento y la maravilla. [Texto de la editorial] El conjunto de los trabajos aquí reunidos pretende mostrar un estado actual, si bien muy parcial, de la influencia del fenómeno de lo maravilloso y lo monstruoso en la literatura de las dos orillas. Nos encontramos así con aportaciones que van desde el estudio de las recreaciones de la leyenda medieval de Roberto el Diablo o del Purgatorio de San Patricio, hasta el rastreo de elementos fantásticos en los folhetos de la actual literatura de cordel brasileña y en novelas y textos poéticos del siglo XX, pasando por la interpretación del simbolismo de los monstruos en las relaciones de fiestas jesuíticas del siglo XVII, la consideración de lo maravilloso en comedias y autos calderonianos, o el estudio de lo sobrenatural en las crónicas de Indias, en relatos de milagros y en las relaciones de monstruos, entre otros muchos aspectos

    This is the first study of monstrosity in Jewish history from the Middle Ages to modernity. Drawing on Jewish history, literary studies, folklore, art history and the history of science, it examines both the historical depiction of Jews as monsters and the creative use of monstrous beings in Jewish culture. Jews have occupied a liminal position within European society and culture, being deeply immersed yet outsiders to it. For this reason, they were perceived in terms of otherness and were often represented as monstrous beings. However, at the same time, European Jews invoked, with tantalizing ubiquity, images of magical, terrifying and hybrid beings in their texts, art and folktales. These images were used by Jewish authors and artists to push back against their own identification as monstrous or diabolical and to tackle concerns about religious persecution, assimilation and acculturation, gender and sexuality, science and technology and the rise of antisemitism. Bringing together an impressive cast of contributors from around the world, this fascinating volume is an invaluable resource for academics, postgraduates and advanced undergraduates interested in Jewish studies, as well as the history of monsters

    13 schw.-w. Abb., 1 frontispiece

    By restoring the poet's image to view against the cultural background that branded it as monstrous, Deutsch recasts Pope's literary career as a form of monstrous embodiment--a stamping of his own image on fragments of the cultural past

    Like the miniatures of which Pope was so fond, the book is at once particular in its focus and wide-ranging in its conceptual scope. While drawing on recent feminist, historicist, and materialist criticism of Pope, as well as current theoretical work on the body, it also attends closely to the local ambiguities of the poet's texts and cultural milieu, details often lost to critical view. The result is a revitalized--and broadened--reading of Pope, and of our understanding of the processes of authorship. By focusing on the process by which ideas of authority and authenticity took shape at specific moments in Pope's career, Resemblance and Disgrace calls into question distinctions between theoretical abstractions and material details, between literary originality and critical derivation, following Pope's own example of rewriting intellectual boundaries as creative opportunities
  5. Shapeshifters in Medieval North Atlantic Literature

    Representations of shapeshifters are prominent in medieval culture and they are particularly abundant in the vernacular literatures of the societies around the North Sea. Some of the figures in these stories remain well known in later folklore and often even in modern media, such as werewolves, dragons, berserkir and bird-maidens. Incorporating studies about Old English, Norse, Latin, Irish, and Welsh literature, this collection of essays marks an important new contribution to the study of medieval shapeshifters. Each essay highlights how shapeshifting cannot be studied in isolation, but intersects with many other topics, such as the supernatural, monstrosity, animality, gender and identity. Contributors to this volume come from different intellectual traditions, embracing a multidisciplinary approach combining influences from literary criticism, history, philology, and anthropology

    For all the scholarship devoted to Mary Shelley's English novel Frankenstein, there has been surprisingly little attention paid to its role in American culture, and virtually none to its racial resonances in the United States. In Black Frankenstein, Elizabeth Young identifies and interprets the figure of a black American Frankenstein monster as it appears with surprising frequency throughout nineteenth- and twentieth-century U.S. culture, in fiction, film, essays, oratory, painting, and other media, and in works by both whites and African Americans.Black Frankenstein stories, Young argues, effect four kinds of racial critique: they humanize the slave; they explain, if not justify, black violence; they condemn the slaveowner; and they expose the instability of white power. The black Frankenstein's monster has served as a powerful metaphor for reinforcing racial hierarchy—and as an even more powerful metaphor for shaping anti-racist critique. Illuminating the power of parody and reappropriation, Black Frankenstein tells the story of a metaphor that continues to matter to literature, culture, aesthetics, and politics

    Wissenschaftliche, aber verständliche Darstellung der "Wundervölker" im Mittelalter, die als "wunderliche", "monströse" menschliche und menschenähnliche Wesen mit körperlichen oder sonstigen Abweichungen in fremden Gebieten definiert werden. Rezension (ekz): Der Untertitel weist darauf hin, dass es hier vor allem um "Wundervölker" geht: "wunderliche", "monströse" menschliche oder menschenähnliche Wesen mit körperlichen oder sonstigen Abweichungen in fernen, fremden Gebieten; sie gehören aber zur Vielfalt der Schöpfung. Es geht also nicht um singuläre und gar übernatürliche, gefährliche Wesen wie Dämonen. Der Bonner Professor (zum mittelalterlichen Weltbild schon) beschreibt den Platz dieser "Monster" in der Welt des Mittelalters, die zeitgemäe︢n Erklärungen für ihre Herkunft, die Ursachen für den Glauben an diese Wesen und schlägt schliesslich den Bogen zu "Wundervölkern" in der frühen Neuzeit bis in die Gegenwart (Stichwort: "Science-Fiction"). Ein 79-seitiges Lexikon dieser Wesen beschliesst den Band, der mit ca. 150 Abbildungen gut illustriert ist. Über 40 Seiten Anmerkungen, Quellen- und Literaturverzeichnis. Die wissenschaftliche, aber verständliche Arbeit öffnet den Blick für eine besondere mittelalterliche Spezies jenseits der üblichen Monster- und Dämonengestalten und ist für eine entsprechend interessierte Leserschaft von Gewinn.

    A long-awaited revision of the bestselling Case Study in Contemporary Criticism: Frankenstein Revised to reflect critical trends of the past 15 years, the third iteration of this widely adopted critical edition presents the 1831 text of Mary Shelley's English Romantic novel along with critical essays that introduce students to Frankenstein from contemporary psychoanalytic, Marxist, feminist, gender/queer, postcolonial, and cultural studies perspectives. The text and essays are complemented by contextual documents, introductions (with bibliographies), and a glossary of critical and theoretical terms. In the third edition, three of the six essays are new, representing recent gender/queer, postcolonial, and cultural theories. The contextual documents have been significantly revised to include many images of Frankenstein from contemporary popular culture

    "The book combinates an inventory of Spenser's creatures with a study of the poem as a monstruos artefact. It first offers a taxonomic account of the monsters in The Faerie Queene, which analyses them along systematic and anatomical parameters. It then treats monsters and monstrous beings as signs interacting with the early modern discourse on the autonomous poet, who creates a secondary nature through the use of his transformative imagination and fashions monsters as ciphers that need to be interpreted by the reader

    A long-awaited revision of the bestselling Case Study in Contemporary Criticism: Frankenstein Revised to reflect critical trends of the past 15 years, the third iteration of this widely adopted critical edition presents the 1831 text of Mary Shelley's English Romantic novel along with critical essays that introduce students to Frankenstein from contemporary psychoanalytic, Marxist, feminist, gender/queer, postcolonial, and cultural studies perspectives. The text and essays are complemented by contextual documents, introductions (with bibliographies), and a glossary of critical and theoretical terms. In the third edition, three of the six essays are new, representing recent gender/queer, postcolonial, and cultural theories. The contextual documents have been significantly revised to include many images of Frankenstein from contemporary popular culture
