The Monstrous and the Marvelous
Rikki Ducornet$16.11
$18.95
With the great Renaissance voyages to the New World came the popularity of Wunderkammern, or cabinets of wonders, in which newly discovered monsters and marvels could be displayed. Like such a cabinet, this collection of essays surveys the monstrous and the marvelous--as transmuted in the alembic of Rikki Ducornet's open-hearted vision--in literature, art and film. For her, excess anomaly, and heterodoxy entice the imagining mind to embrace otherness, enlarge the world and regenerate Eden.
