Summary

Of the monsters that stalked the pages of 19th- and early 20th-century fiction, the werewolf has continued to represent the beast lurking underneath the veneer of human civilization to this day, a composite creature which is all too easily released and, once at large, difficult to constrain. From one of the very first werewolf stories appearing in Britain to a tale published after World War I, this collection brings together the greatest werewolf fiction from a period stretching to nearly a century, uniting figures as diverse as Hans Christian Andersen, Rudyard Kipling, and the Suffragette writer Clemence Housman.

Author Biography

Eleanor Dobson is a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Birmingham. Along with 19th- and 20th-century literature, material culture and Egyptology, her work investigates the monstrous figures associated with the Gothic mode: vampires, mummies, and werewolves.
