Folklore of the Walled-Up Woman: Misogyny or Mythology?
Through a lens of metaphysical hermeneutics, the author explores the motif of the walled-up woman in folklore, focusing on an Albanian legend of the immured woman at the Castle of Shkodra/Rozafa, and on the story of Anārkali, concubine of Prince Salim (later Emperor Jahangir) in Mughal India.
