Hybridity, Identity, and Monstrosity in Medieval Britain: On Difficult Middles - The New Middle Ages 2007 edition
J. Cohen
This study examines the monsters that haunt twelfth-century British texts, arguing that in these strange bodies are expressed fears and fantasies about community, identity and race during the period. Cohen finds the origins of these monsters in a contemporary obsession with blood, both the literal and metaphorical kind.
