Monsters and the Monstrous in Medieval Northwest Europe

Monsters and the Monstrous in Medieval Northwest Europe
By:Karin E. Olsen,L. A. J. R. Houwen
Published on 2001 by Peeters Publishers


The essays in this book examine various manifestations of monstrosity in the early literatures of England, Ireland and Scandinavia. The dates of the texts discussed range from the eighth to the thirteenth centuries and were written either in Latin or in one of the vernaculars. The present contributions shed light on the physical, mental and metaphysical qualities that characterize medieval monsters in general. How do such creatures relate to accepted physical norms? How do their behaviours deviate from established cultural practices? How can their presence in both fictional and non-fictional texts be explained either in terms of a textual tradition or as a response to actual events? Such issues are examined from literary, philological, theological, and historical points of view in order to provide a thorough, multifaceted depiction of the sub- and supernatural monsters of medieval Northwest Europe.

From Pennsylvania Dutch Farm to Queen of the Funnel Cakes By:Alice Reinert Published on 2011-11-10 by Xlibris Corporation As I speak with Alice Reinert, I cant help but recall Dr. Ruth Westheimer, you know, the German sex therapist whose rather controversial views have been popular now for decades. Alice even talks like Dr. Ruth, with what sounds like a heavy German accent. Not only that, but Alice looks a bit like Dr. Ruth, was born four years before the doctor, and in fact, wanted to be a doctor, not in human biology, but a veterinarian from the time she was a small child.

Apparently, because Deutsch (the adjective meaning German) was misunderstood in the ea
