Wolves lope across Gothic imagination. Signs of a pure animality
opposed to humanity, in the figure of the werewolf they become
liminal creatures that move between the human and the animal.
Werewolves function as a site for exploring complex anxieties of
difference - of gender, class, race, space, nation or sexuality -
but the imaginative and ideological uses of wolves also reflect
back on the lives of material animals, long persecuted in their
declining habitats across the world. Werewolves therefore raise
unsettling questions about the intersection of the real and the
imaginary, the instability of human identities and the worldliness
and political weight of the Gothic. This is the first volume
concerned with the appearance of werewolves and wolves in literary
and cultural texts from the mid-nineteenth century to the present.
Drawing on representations of werewolves and wolves in literature,
film, television and visual culture, the essays investigate the key
texts of the lycanthropic canon alongside lesser-known works from
the 1890s to the present. The result is an innovative study that is
both theoretically aware and historically nuanced, featuring an
international list of established and emerging scholars based in
Britain, Europe, North America and Australia.
