Representing Beasts in Early Medieval England and Scandinavi
Representing Beasts in Early Medieval England and Scandinavi
This book discusses the various ways in which the early English and Scandinavians thought about and represented these other inhabitants of their world, and considers the multi-faceted nature of the relationship between people and beasts. Drawing on the evidence of material culture, art, language, literature, place-names and landscapes, the studies presented here reveal a world where the boundaries between humans, animals, monsters and objects were blurred and often permeable, and where to represent the bestial could be to hold a mirror to the self.
Michael Bintley is Lecturer in Early Medieval Literature and Culture at Birkbeck, University of London; Thomas Williams is a former curator of Early Medieval Coins at the British Museum.
Contributors: Noel Adams, John Baker, Michael D. J. Bintley, Sue Brunning, Laszlo Sandor Chardonnens, Della Hooke, Eric Lacey, Richard North, Marijane Osborn, Victoria Symons, Thomas J. Williams
