Book Synopsis Monsters and Their Meanings in Early Modern Culture by : Wes Williams
Book excerpt: Wes Williams explores the place of monsters in the early modern imagination, charting the migration of the monstrous from natural history to moral philosophy, from descriptions of creatures found in the external world to the drama of human motivation, of sexual and political identity. At its centre are readings of major works of French literature.
