My Goodreads Review: Wolves and Werewolves in History & Popular Culture

[ankh_hpl]

Wolves and Werewolves in History and Popular Culture by Shannon Scott

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This 10 lecture Great Courses Audible Original was a fun & informative mini-course, though it suffered somewhat from cramming too much into too few lectures. This resulted in less depth on certain topics than the listener (assuming a geeky, dark-lit-obsessed listener!) might wish. Still, it did cover the subject pretty comprehensively, with a feminist focus to some lectures.

I was happy to find out about a few authors & films I'd missed out on, & enjoyed the sweep of information. The lecturer has apparently done a similar course for actual university students, & is quite enthusiastic about her subject.

I acquired this as part of the Audible Plus catalog, free with my membership. As such, I found it very worth my time -- though perhaps not meriting a full credit purchase. Most werewolf enthusiasts will probably find something new here, & medieval or Victorian lit lovers might enjoy it as well.
