دانلود کتاب Classic Readings On Monster Theory: Demonstrare, Volume 1

University courses on monsters are becoming widespread as many disciplines use monsters to think about what it means to be human. To date no source collection on the literature of the monstrous exists, and this volume offers seminal essays on monster theory. Each work is preceded by a critical introduction, reading questions, notes and further reading. Accompanied by a second volume on primary source material and an instructor's website, this text will prove essential reading for students and scholars alike. "This monster of a two volume reader is exactly what we have long needed: a comprehensive and timely collection of the work that founded monster studies as well as the research that enabled it to become among the most exciting areas of interdisciplinary inquiry within the humanities. But there's more: a wide ranging collation of primary sources spans cultures and centuries. Capacious, inclusive, and brilliantly edited, this two volume set articulates the history of monster studies and promises its vigorous future." - Jeffrey J. Cohen.
