"Dragonslayers: From Beowulf to Saint George" by Joseph A. McCullough explores the legendary tales of heroes who battled dragons throughout history and literature. The book delves into the mythic narratives surrounding these iconic figures, tracing the evolution of the dragon-slaying archetype from ancient epics like Beowulf to the chivalric exploits of Saint George. Through an engaging blend of historical context and analysis, McCullough examines the significance of these legends in shaping cultural values, the symbolism of dragons as adversaries, and the heroic ideals that resonate through time. It paints a vivid picture of bravery, sacrifice, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
