"This is a fine, stimulating book which constructs a subtle,
complex argument not only about monsters, but the theorizing of men
and women in the thirteenth and fourtteenth centuries."-- The
Medieval Review
"Makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the
complex workings of medieval teratological discourse, its
constructive and deconstructive capacities, and its role within the
formation of medieval socioreligious material and textual
identities."- Journal of British Studies
