Over the centuries, contrary meanings have been bestowed upon
the unicorn—virtue, sin, chastity, wildness, death and rebirth
among them. One aspect of the legend, however, has never been
disputed: only a maiden can tame the proud beast. Scott Gustafson
explores these myths while offering lively new interpretations
in The Maiden and the Unicorn, which has been created in the
same wondrously detailed tradition as the extremely popular,
sold out print Merlin and Arthur. This enchanted glen is full
of symbols explained by Gustafson in a fascinating essay that
accompanies each print. |
