Ecocritical thinking has sensitized us more than ever before to the
tremendous importance of water for human life, as it is richly
reflected in the world of literature. The great relevance of water
also in the Middle Ages might come as a surprise for many readers,
but the evidence assembled here confirms that also medieval poets
were keenly aware of the importance of water to sustain all life,
to provide understanding of life's secrets, to mirror love, and to
connect the individual with God. In eleven chapters major medieval
European authors and their works are discussed here, taking us from
the world of Old Norse to Irish and Latin literature, to German,
French, English, and Italian romances and other narratives.
