Chasing Mythical Beasts

The Reception of Ancient Monsters in Children's and Young Adults' Culture. Edited by Katarzyna Marciniak. The team of 30 contributors from Europe, North America, Africa, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand focuses on the reception of mythical creatures as the key to these transformations, including the changes in human mentality. The volume gathers the results of a stage of the programme 'Our Mythical Childhood', supported by an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Alumni Award for Innovative Networking Initiatives and an ERC Consolidator Grant. Thanks to the multidisciplinary character of its research (Classics, Modern Philologies, Animal Studies) and to the universal importance of the theme of childhood, the volume offers stimulating reading for scholars, students, and educators, as well as for a wider audience. 623 Seiten mit zahlreichen Textabb. und 16 Farbtafeln, gebunden (Studien zur europäischen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur/Studies in European Children’s and Young Adult Literature; Band 8/Universitätsverlag Winter 2020) Ecken etwas bestoßen
