Introducing the Medieval Dragon
Introducing the Medieval Dragon | Thomas Honegger
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Arnold, Martin. 2018. The Dragon. Fear and Power. London: Reaktion Books. My book is much shorter and focusses on the medieval (European) dragon, while Martin’s book covers all centuries and also the Asian tradition.

Dive into the dragon‘s hoard through this dense but enticing exploration into the medieval imagination—in religion, from the Bible to the legend of Saint Margaret bursting from a dragon‘s belly; in science, through the different classes of dragon in the medieval encyclopedic tradition; in folklore through the story of the Dragon of Mordiford; and in literarure—in Beowulf, Bevis of Hampton, the story of Sigurd and the dragon Fafnir, and more.
