The volume is organized in three parts. The first section, Insights from Archaeology, looks carefully at recent, additional evidence for the existence and role of animals in early medieval England through evidence for animal husbandry and medieval falconry to what surviving books and pages can tell us about animals through biocodicology, a new and important contribution to archaeology for the period.
The second section, Insights from Text, focuses attention on how textual sources portray human perception of animal reality and animal-human interaction and relationships, including the role of enslavement and violence between man and beast. From the Beasts of Battle to mundane animals, from poetry to documentary and homiletic text, the textual evidence evinces the highly symbolic role animals held in the early medieval English mind.
The third section, Insights from the Visual Arts, continues the volume’s exploration of perception of animals, but in the highly abstract and symbolic realm of early medieval English art. Abstract depictions of animals as iconographic motifs raises again the question of animal voice and agency in metals, ceramics, and stone, as well as animal symbolism in textile and animals as monstrosities in illustrated “monster” collections.
