The Werewolf In Literature by Montague Summers is a comprehensive study of the werewolf as a literary figure. Summers explores the history of the werewolf in folklore and mythology, and traces its evolution as a literary character from the medieval period to the modern era. He examines the various literary forms in which the werewolf has appeared, including poetry, drama, and prose fiction, and analyzes the ways in which the werewolf has been used to explore themes such as identity, transformation, and the relationship between humanity and the natural world. The book also includes a detailed analysis of some of the most influential werewolf stories in literature, including The Werewolf by Clemence Housman, The Wolf-Leader by Alexandre Dumas, and The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle. With its erudite analysis and rich historical context, The Werewolf In Literature is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of the werewolf as a literary figure.THIS 36 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Werewolf, by Montague Summers.
