Choice Outstanding Academic Title, 2008 A Cultural History of
Animals in the Medieval Age investigates the changing roles of
animals in medieval culture, economy and society in the period 1000
to 1400. The period saw significant changes in scientific and
philosophical approaches to animals as well as their representation
in art. Animals were omnipresent in medieval everyday life. They
had enormous importance for medieval agriculture and trade and were
also hunted for food and used in popular entertainments. At the
same time, animals were kept as pets and used to display their
owner's status, whilst medieval religion attributed complex
symbolic meanings to animals. As with all the volumes in the
illustrated Cultural History of Animals, this volume presents an
overview of the period and continues with essays on the position of
animals in contemporary Symbolism, Hunting, Domestication, Sports
and Entertainment, Science, Philosophy, and Art. Volume 2 in the
Cultural History of Animals edited by Linda Kalof and Brigitte Resl
