This
series - 'Monsters, Prodigies, and Demons: Medieval and Early Modern
Constructions of Alterity' - is dedicated to the study of monstrosity
and alterity in the medieval and early modern world, and to the
investigation of cultural constructions of otherness, abnormality and
difference from a wide range of perspectives. Submissions are welcome
from scholars working within established disciplines, including—but not
limited to—philosophy, critical theory, cultural history, history of
science, history of art and architecture, literary studies, disability
studies, and gender studies. Since much work in the field is necessarily
pluridisciplinary in its methods and scope, the editors are
particularly interested in proposals that cross disciplinary boundaries.
The series publishes English-language, single-author volumes and
collections of original essays. Topics might include hybridity and
hermaphroditism; giants, dwarves, and wild-men; cannibalism and the New
World; cultures of display and the carnivalesque; “monstrous” encounters
in literature and travel; jurisprudence, law, and criminality;
teratology and the “New Science”; the aesthetics of the grotesque;
automata and self-moving machines; or witchcraft, demonology, and other
occult themes.
