‘True Biographies of Nations?’
Author: Karen FoxPublisher: ANU Press
ISBN: 1760462756
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
Dictionaries of national biography are a long-established and significant genre of biographical and historical writing, existing in many forms across the globe. This book brings together practitioners from around the English‑speaking world to reflect on national biographical dictionary projects’ recent cultural journeys, and the challenges presented to them by such developments as the transition to a digital environment, a new alertness to the need to represent diversity, and the rise of transnationalism. Exploring their paths forward, the chapters of this book collectively make a powerful argument for the continued value and importance of large‑scale collaborative biographical dictionary research.

Encyclopedia of Beasts and Monsters in Myth, Legend and Folklore
Author: Theresa BanePublisher: McFarland
ISBN: 147662268X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
"Here there be dragons"--this notation was often made on ancient maps to indicate the edges of the known world and what lay beyond. Heroes who ventured there were only as great as the beasts they encountered. This encyclopedia contains more than 2,200 monsters of myth and folklore, who both made life difficult for humans and fought by their side. Entries describe the appearance, behavior, and cultural origin of mythic creatures well-known and obscure, collected from traditions around the world.
