In her memoirs of 1838, Madame Marie Tussaud recounts how she was forced to take wax impressions of the severed heads of her royal friends Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Then, with her head shaved, she awaited her own execution. Fortunate to survive, she travelled to England with her collection of macabre wax casts which resulted in the famous waxworks museum.

What woeful maternal fancy produced such a monster? This was once the question asked when a deformed infant was born. From classical antiquity through to the Enlightenment, the monstrous child bore witness to the fearsome power of the mother's imagination. What such a notion meant and how it reappeared, transformed, in the Romantic period are the questions explored in this book, a study of theories linking imagination, art and monstrous progeny.
