Firmly convinced of the literal and enduring reality of the werewolf, the late Reverend Montague Summers has a wonderful time recounting the fantastic European history of "that most terrible and depraved of all the bond slaves of Satan." Illustrated. Contents: Introduction; Werewolf: lycanthropy; Werewolf: his science and practice; Werewolf in Greece and Italy, Spain and Portugal; Werewolf in England and Wales, Scotland and Ireland; Werewolf in France; Werewolf in the North, in Russia and Germany. ''The Werewolf in Lore and Legend'' is the first definitive book on werewolves. Unsurpassed in its sheer scope and depth, it employs an extensive range of historical documentation and folklore from throughout Europe to powerfully portray the horror associated with belief in werewolves. |
