This book accepts the natural world as such by investigating how Anglo-Saxons interacted with and conceived of their lived environments. Examining Old English poems, such as 'Beowulf' and 'Judith', as well as descriptions of natural events from the 'Anglo-Saxon Chronicle' and other documentary texts, Heide Estes shows that Anglo-Saxon ideologies which view nature as diametrically opposed to humans, and the natural world as designed for human use, have become deeply embedded in our cultural heritage, language, and more.Environmental humanities in pre-modern cultures.Nature in literatureEcocriticismLandscapes in literatureEcology in literatureEcocriticismfast(OCoLC)fst00901428Ecology in literaturefast(OCoLC)fst00901557Landscapes in literaturefast(OCoLC)fst01899802Nature in literaturefast(OCoLC)fst01034680AltenglischgndEcocriticismgndLiteraturgndUmweltgndEnglish literatureOld English, ca. 450-1100History and criticismidszbzesNature in literatureidszbzesLandscape in literatureidszbzesEcocriticismidszbzesAnglo-Saxon studies, Old English language and literature, Ecotheory, Ecocriticism, Environmental studies.Nature in literature.Ecocriticism.Landscapes in literature.Ecology in literature.Ecocriticism.Ecology in literature.Landscapes in literature.Nature in literature.AltenglischEcocriticismLiteraturUmweltEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Nature in literature.Landscape in literature.Ecocriticism.810/820Estes Heide(Heide Ruth),1024743MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910320755703321Anglo-Saxon Literary Landscapes2435754UNINA
