This book brings together contributions from anthropologists and folklorists on werewolf legends from all over Europe. Ranging from broad overviews to specific case studies, their chapters highlight the similarities and differences between werewolf narratives in different areas and attempt to explain them. The result of interaction between elite and popular culture, local and external influences, and nature and culture that lasted several centuries or even more, nineteenth- to twenty-first-century werewolf legends represent a kaleidoscope of the darker sides of human life. Willem de Blécourt is Historical Anthropologist and editor of Werewolf Histories, also in this series. Mirjam Mencej teaches Folklore Studies and Comparative Mythology at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
