Beskrivelse

Tracks the ways in which human beings were defined in contrast to supernatural and demonic creatures during the time of the Scientific Revolution. Explaining that the word 'monster' is derived from the Latin for 'omen' or 'warning', the author begins with an exploration of the monster's early identity as a portent or messenger from God.
