Review Quotes
David Punter, University of Bristol
“This is an excellent collection, addressing one of the limits of the human as represented in the Gothic, namely the recurring theme of ‘becoming wolf’. The essays assume a wide variety of perspectives, in which the historical terrors, desires and hopes of the wolf are brought out into the light.”
Susan McHugh, University of New England
“Illuminating rising popular interests in everybody’s love-to-hate hairy monsters amid the decline of their real-life counterparts, this collection of essays makes a compelling case for investigating representations of werewolves and wolves at the nexus of literary animal studies and the ecoGothic.”
