Monster theory [electronic resource]

By :"Jeffrey Jerome Cohen"

Published on 1996 by U of Minnesota Press

Category :"Literary Criticism"

The contributors to Monster Theory consider beasts, demons, freaks and fiends as symbolic expressions of cultural unease that pervade a society and shape its collective behavior. Through a historical sampling of monsters, these essays argue that our fascination for the monstrous testifies to our continued desire to explore difference and prohibition.
