Giants and Dwarfs in European Art and Culture, ca. 1350-1750 : Real, Imagined, Metaphorical

Omtale

This book brings together recent scholarship on giants and dwarfs into one volume; it offers new analyses on the giant-dwarf topos as expressed in art and literature and courtly practices; it moves beyond previous medieval and regional studies that focus on monsters to treat giants and dwarfs in the early modern era and more broadly in European locales.
