The monstrous races in medieval art and thought

The outer archives are busy

by John Block Friedman

About this book

The reports of travelers in Africa and Asia revealed that "monstrous" races of men lived there, whose appearance and customs were quite different from the European norm. This book examines the impact of these races upon Western art, literature, and philosophy, from their earliest mention until the age of exploration.
