Abstract (en)
Explores the power and the passion with which male writers and artists from the 1830s to the 1890s gave meaning to the Perseus and Andromeda myth and its cognate, S. George and the dragon. Considers the reasons for the Victorian fascination with the myth, the interpretative methods used to produce divergent meanings, and the cultural implications of Victorian interpretations from the vantage of 20th c. criticism.
