Description

Holy Monsters, Sacred Grotesques examines the intersection of religion and monstrosity in a variety of different time periods in the hopes of addressing two gaps in scholarship within the field of monster studies.

The first part of the volumerunning from the medieval to the Early Modern periodfocuses upon the view of the monster through non-majority voices and accounts from those who were themselves branded as monsters.

Overlapping partially with the Early Modern and proceeding to the present day, the contributions of the second part of the volume attempt to problematize the dichotomy of secular/religious through a close look at the monsters this period has wrought.
