Originally published in 1993, The Medieval World of Nature looks at
how the natural world was viewed by medieval society. The book
presents the argument that the pragmatic medieval view of the
natural world of animals and plants, existed simply to serve
medieval society. It discusses the medieval concept of animals as
food, labour, and sport and addresses how the biblical charge of
assuming dominion over animals and plants, was rooted in the
medieval sensibility of control. The book also looks at the idea of
plants and animals as not only pragmatic, but as allegories within
the medieval world, utilizing animals to draw morality tales, which
were viewed with as much importance as scientific information. This
book provides a unique and interesting look at the everyday
medieval world.
