This fascinating collection of highly readable essays literally opens new vistas on the medieval landscape.

Contreni, Purdue University'A real contribution to what we know about the relations between nature and culture, intersecting in landscapes. . . . I know of no other single volume that offers such a wide array of approaches and perspectives on the topic. A pleasurable volume to read.'William H. TeBrake, University of MaineFar from the forest primeval of popular imagination, the historians and literary scholars in this book describe a Western European landscape just as consciously constructed by its inhabitants as any modern landscapephysically, conceptually, and spiritually. All appearing for the first time in print, their essays provide a wealth of detail on this 'deep ecology' of the Middle Ages and a better understanding of the creativity and skill of our cultural ancestors.ContentsIntroduction, by John Howe and Michael WolfePart One: Managed Landscapes1.
