A Lycanthropy Reader: Werewolves in Western Culture by Charlotte F. Otten

With very little, if any original writing, this anthology reads more like a hardbound coursepack than a study. This may have had some value in 1986, but the same work could be accomplished now with a decent website, which, moreover, could ask advanced students to provide their own translation of the Walter Scott-meets-Malory-meets-Joseph Smith archaized translation of the Latin Arthur and Gorlagon. If ever a translation needed to be updated, this is it.

The Virago Book of Birth Poetry by Charlotte Otten

One of Virago's many themed poetry collections, this one is not simply filled with women's experience of birth but also includes the male perspective, which is refreshing!
