    Evil Children in Religion, Literature and Art

    Today's Price £45.53



    Product Description

    This text explores the genesis, development, and religious significance of a literary and iconographic motif, involving a gang of urchins, usually male, who mock or assault a holy or eccentric person, typically an adult. Originating in the biblical tale of Elisha's mockery (2 Kings 2.23-24), this motif recurs in literature, hagiography, and art, from antiquity up to our own time, strikingly defying the conventional Judeo Christian and Romantic image of the child as a symbol of innocence.
