"Strange Beauty" brings the developing discipline of
environmental literary criticism to bear on narratives of nature
and the Otherworld from early cultures around the Irish Sea.
Reflecting on an Otherworld associated with human experience,
Siewers uses texts such as the Ulster Cycle and the "Mabinogi" to
relate views of nature, symbolism and language. This book uncovers
early syntheses of Christian and indigenous Insular cultures which
express an integration of the spiritual and physical landscapes
that are marginalized in later medieval thought. "Strange Beauty
"opens a window on distinctive alternative views of the relation of
culture to nature still relevant today.
