The Metaphor of the Monster offers fresh perspectives and a variety
of disciplinary approaches to the ever-broadening field of monster
studies. The eclectic group of contributors to this volume
represents areas of study not generally considered under the
purview of monster studies, including world literature, classical
studies, philosophy, ecocriticism, animal ethics, and gender
studies. Combining historical overviews with contemporary and
global outlooks, this volume recontextualizes the monstrous
entities that have always haunted the human imagination in the age
of the Anthropocene. It also invites reflection on new forms of
monstrosity in an era epitomized by an unprecedented deluge of
(mis)information. Uniting researchers from varied academic
backgrounds in a common effort to challenge the monstrous labels
that have historically been imposed upon "the Other," this book
endeavors above all to bring the monster out of the shadows and
into the light of moral consideration.
