rom
at least as far back as the Epic of
Gilgamesbe
mankind
has shown a fascination with physical transformation
—
especially that of humans into animals. Tales of such
dramatic changes appear in every culture throughout history.
They have been featured in the Western world in the work
of Ovid, Petronius, Marie
de
France, Saint Augustine, Jack
Williamson, Charles
de
Lint, Charlaine Harris, Terry Pratchett,
and J. K. Rowling.
This book approaches werewOlves as representations of a
proposed shape-shifter archetype, examining, with reference to
earlier sources, how and why the archetype has been employed in
modern literature. Although the archetype is in a state of flux by
its very definition, many common threads are linked throughout
the literary landscape even as modern authors add, modify, and
reinvent characteristics and meanings. This is especially true in
the work of the authors examined in this book, many of whom
have struck a chord with
a w
ide
range of readers and non-readers
around the world.
