About this book
Reviews
“This engaging book both establishes an important and convincing new line of argument within the field of medieval animal studies and provides an excellent introduction to the function and treatment of animals in the Middle Ages more broadly. It’s also a seriously enjoyable read.” (Sarah Bowden, Senior Lecturer in German, King’s College London, UK)
