Monsters in English Literature: From the Romantic Age to the First World War

Paul Goetsch

As representatives of the other, monsters express anxieties, fears, and wishes with regard to human self-definitions and relationships. They also articulate problems of modernization and the machine age and take on additional functions in various discourses. This historically oriented study examines the uses and functions of traditional and newly invented monsters in Romantic, Victorian, and early-modernist literature.
