The essays in this interdisciplinary volume explore language,
broadly construed, as part of the continued interrogation of the
boundaries of human and nonhuman animals in the Middle Ages.
Uniting a diverse set of emerging and established scholars, Animal
Languages questions the assumed medieval distinction between humans
and other animals. The chapters point to the wealth of non-human
communicative and discursive forms through which animals function
both as vehicles for human meaning and as agents of their own,
demonstrating the significance of human and non-human interaction
in medieval texts, particularly for engaging with the Other. The
book ultimately considers the ramifications of deconstructing the
medieval anthropocentric view of language for the broader question
of human singularity.
