remains a difficult issue to decide: can berserkrgangr be placed in beyond easy and trivializing similarities at least in relation to the external crisis of lycanthropy? Many signs on at least medieval literary werewolf will be in the test relative to that in S. Battaglia, The literary consciousness of the Middle Ages , Naples, 1965, pp. 361-389; useful for the collected material is M. Summer, The werewolf , London, 1933. A portrait of "fictional" what you want, but philological precision and at the same time delicate and psychologically penetrating, of berserkers, is in the character of Beorn (in fact, a name that has to do with the word "bear" in the languages Germanic), the "mutator skin" by JRR Tolkien, The Hobbit , trad.it., Milan, 1972, p. 135 ff. The same theme in different key is treated in the novella by Prosper Mérimée Lokis .
