About this product
Product Information
This study examines the monsters that haunt twelfth-century British texts, arguing that in these strange bodies are expressed fears and fantasies about community, identity and race during the period. Cohen finds the origins of these monsters in a contemporary obsession with blood, both the literal and metaphorical kind.

Reviews
"Hybridity, Identity, Monstrosityintervenes in the contested debate over the categories of "race" and "ethnicity" in pre-modern studies. Cohen imaginatively explores the proposition that culture can function like nature, thus engaging rich readings of a canon of medieval chronicles. His critical touch enables the monsterizations of the past to erupt into the present with an "unhistorical" force that shatters the "middle" of the Middle Ages."-Kathleen Biddick, Professor of History, Temple University. "Cohen has in many ways defined the field of study known, following his seminal publication of the same title, as 'Monster Theory' . . . Cohen's book, constructing images of communities that reconfigured themselves as 'imperiled' through the invention of fictitious enemies (152), is therefore not only a useful lens through which we might view the distant past, but (a rare and vital quality) also one through which we might reconsider our own troubled present."
