Villainy in Western culture : historical archetypes of danger, disorder and death
M. Gregory Kendrick (Author)
"This book explores how western societies have used villains to sort insiders from outsiders and establish behavioral norms to support harmony and well-being. The author also discusses two related phenomena: the dramatic paring down of what is considered villainous in the West, and the proliferation of over-the-top villains in pop culture and mass media"-- Provided by publisher
