Current concerns about the survival of marine life and the fishing
industry have contributed to a rising interest in their past
development. While much of the scholarship is focused on the recent
past, this collection of essays presents new interpretations in the
pre-industrial history of the fisheries by highlighting the
consequences of the northern fisheries through an interdisciplinary
approach, including the environment, economy, politics, and society
in the medieval and early modern periods. A wide variety of topics
related to the fisheries, such as settlement and spatial
organisation, processing methods, trade, profitability and
taxation, consumption, communication and cooperation, ranging from
the Viking Age until industrialisation are dealt with in a long
term perspective, offering new insights in the intriguing
relationship between marine life and humanity. Contributors are
Ines Amorim, James H. Barrett, Christiaan van Bochove, Petra van
Dam, Chloe Deligne, Carsten Jahnke, Alison M. Locker, Thomas H.
McGovern, Sophia Perdikaris, Marnix Pieters, Peter Pope, Bo
Poulsen, Callum M. Roberts, Louis Sicking, Dries Tys, Adri van
Vliet, Annette de Wit, Justyna Wubs-Mrozewicz.
