Abstract
The Jewish legend of the Golem – a mythic being created by rabbis and mystics versed in Kabbalah and the secrets of creation – has long held an intense fascination for writers and artists in Western culture. Jewish parables relating to the Golem date back to the fourth or fifth centuries; throughout the Middle Ages and into the Romantic era the legend continued to transform in power and scope.
