Description: Evil Children in Religion, Literature, and Art, Hardcover by Ziolkowski, Eric, ISBN 0333918959, ISBN-13 9780333918951, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Evil Children in Religion, Literature and Art 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 ), 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.
