The seven chapters, entitled Earth, Ocean, Forest, Beast, Fen, Catastrophe, Paradise, open with fiction and close with reflection. They blend reflections of travels through fen, forest and cave, with retelling of medieval texts that offer rich depictions of the natural world. From the Old English elegies to the englynion and immrama of the Celtic world - stories that largely represent figures whose voices are not generally heard in the corpus of medieval literature: women, outcasts, animals.Illustrated with original wood engravings, evoking an atmospheric world of whales, wolves, caves, cuckoos and reeds, Wild: Tales From Early Medieval Britain will leave readers feeling 'westendream': delight in the wilderness.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 196mmItem Length: 128mmItem Width: 28mmItem Weight: 260gAuthor: Amy JeffsGenre: Home Garden & PetsTopic: Science Nature & Math, Society & Culture, Language & Reference, Arts & Photography, Poetry & DramaRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
