El hombre salvaje entre la Edad Media y el Renacimiento: leyenda oral, iconográfica y literaria
Keywords:
wild man, medieval legends and myths, monstersAbstract
This work pays attention to the success achieved by the figure of the wild man, a special subject through which the interaction of orality, written literature and iconography may be assessed. Conceiving this figure as the result of intermingled diverse traditions and patterns, the fashion of wildness is connected to the liking for the rustic component at the end of the fifteenth century, as well as to the attraction for the monstrous element, which persists during most of the seventeenth century. The work also adds some considerations about the survival of the motive of the wild man in America.
