Beschreibung
Medieval texts are teeming with animals. This book examines encounters between humans and wild animals in narratives from the 6th to 13th centuries. Bears, lions, and deer appear as humankind’s untamed antagonists, which can be vanquished on a hunt but can also become companions. This powerful domination of a natural world that was once perceived as threatening had a significant impact on the Christian Middle Ages, which continues today.
