Description for Anglo-Saxon Literary Landscapes: Ecotheory and the Anglo-Saxon Environmental Imagination (Environmental Humanities in Pre-modern Cultures)
Hardcover. Ecotheory and the Environmental Imagination. Landscapes, whether wild regions, seascapes, or urban areas, have typically been taken for granted by scholars as setting for human actions, though perhaps functioning in metaphorical terms to echo human emotions or other themes. This study takes the natural world on its own terms, investigating how Anglo-Saxons interacted with their lived environments and how they imagined their relationships to it, as depicted in poems such as Beowulf, Judith, and the Exeter Book Riddles, in the context of more prosaic descriptions of natural events found in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and other documentary Series: ENVIRONMENTAL HUMANITIES IN PR. Num Pages: 234 pages. BIC Classification: HB. .
