What to Read for Freaks and Monsters

I've had a couple of requests for my reading list for the medieval lit survey course in the Spring (ENG 4402 for the hometown crowd). I've decided to go with a "freaks and monsters" theme, so here are the primary texts. I've ordered the Penguin or Signet Classic version of each one from the bookstore -- 'cause I'm cheap. You can order a different version if the spirit moves you.

• Alighieri, Dante. The Divine Comedy (though we'll only read The Inferno, I think).
• Boccaccio, Giovanni. The Decameron.
• Byock, Jesse L, trans. The Saga of King Hrolf Kraki.
• Byock, Jesse L, trans. The Saga of the Volsungs.
• Gerald of Wales, The History & Topography of Ireland.
• Mandeville, John. The Travels of Sir John Mandeville.
• Ovid, The Metamorphoses.

That's it. Because it's technically a survey course with a theme (rather than, say, a Selected Topics course), I've left out secondary works for the moment, and will probably handle them through handouts and directing you to them for research papers. I still have time to change my mind, though, so don't get too comfy.
