Monstrous Imagination
Author: Marie-Hélène Huet
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674586512
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
What woeful maternal fancy produced such a monster? This was once the question asked when a deformed infant was born. From classical antiquity through to the Enlightenment, the monstrous child bore witness to the fearsome power of the mother's imagination. What such a notion meant and how it reappeared, transformed, in the Romantic period are the questions explored in this book, a study of theories linking imagination, art and monstrous progeny.
