Originally published in 1971, Animals in Art and Thought discusses
the ways in which animals have been used by man in art and
literature. The book looks at how they have been used to symbolise
religious, social and political beliefs, as well as their pragmatic
use by hunters, sportsmen, and farmers. The book discusses these
various attitudes in a survey which ranges from prehistoric cave
art to the later Middle Ages. The book is especially concerned with
uncovering the latent, as well as the manifest meanings of animal
art, and presents a detailed examination of the literary and
archaeological monuments of the periods covered in the book. The
book discusses the themes of Creation myths of the pagan and
Christian religion, the contribution of the animal art of the
ancient contribution of the animal art of the ancient Orient to the
development of the Romanesque and gothic styles in Europe, the use
of beast fables in social or political satire, and the heroic
associations of animals in medieval chivalry.
