Catalog Description : This class investigates intersections among people, arts, and the environment in European regions during the Middle Ages (c.400-1400). Readings draw broadly from primary sources in translation, ecocritical studies, and environmental histories and dovetail with close examinations of images, object, monuments, and sites across varied medieval landscapes. We question what constitutes medieval ecologies and consider their profound relevance for today's world.
