Description - The Beast Within by Joyce E. Salisbury
The Beast Within presents a unique exploration of the use and attitudes towards animals in medieval society. In the process, the volume sheds light on modern environmental concerns by tracing the roots of our current views about animals. Joyce E. Salisbury illustrates how, as property, food and sexual object, animals in the middle ages had a distinct and at times, odd relationship with the people and world around them. The Beast Within weaves a historical narrative that includes economic, legal, theological, literary and artistic sources. This provocative volume will inform and enlighten current debates on animal rights and offer an original contribution to the historical study of animals.
