520 |a Until the middle of the sixteenth century, established English wisdom identified monsters in substantially the same way it had throughout the previous millennium; thereafter a deviation from the traditional pattern materialized. A relaxation of definition created, by 1570, a type of English monster virtually unknown before 1550, one that lacked any external sign of its inward monstrosity. English authors, anxiously attempting to come to terms with and find a cure for the widespread political, religious, and social tensions of the mid-Tudor period, realized that, with some creative manipulation, the language of monstrosity would prove a powerful rhetorical tool. By focusing increasingly on deviant behavior rather than physical appearance, mid-Tudor authors (perhaps most notably John Knox and John Ponet) gradually transformed the meanings of familiar symbols, creating in the process a rhetoric of great polemical potency and utility.
