Description
Originally published in 1865, this highly unusual book will appeal to those who hold a fascination for all that is mythical and mystical. Its 265 pages contain a wealth of information and anecdote on the myth of the were-wolf. A captivating read for any folklorist. Contents Include; Preface; Introductory; Lycanthropy among the Ancients; The Were-wolf in the North; The Origin of the Scandinavian Were-wolf; The Were-wolf in the Middle Ages; A Chapter of Horrors; Jean Grenier; Folk-lore Relating to Were-wolves; Natural Causes of Lycanthropy; Mythological Origin of the Were-wolf Myth; The Maréchal de Retz - The Investigation of Charges, The Trial, The Sentence and Execution; A Galician Were-wolf; Anomalous Case - The Human Hyena; A Sermon on Were-wolves.
