In this interdisciplinary compendium to the animal inhabitants of medieval Britain, Preston documents each creature mentioned in the Old English literary textual canon and correlates its standard literary interpretation with relevant historical, archaeological, and ecological studies. Beyond its usefulness as a reference work, Preston's text challenges the reader to move beyond a literary analysis of the figural beast to one that leaves space for the actual animal.Arc reference.Animals in literatureEnglish literatureOld English, ca. 450-1100History and criticismOld English Literature, Animals, Anglo-Saxon England, Medieval Literature, Bestiary.Animals in literature.English literatureHistory and criticism.809.93362Preston Todd1646188MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910820629603321A Handbook of Animals in Old English Texts3993065UNINA
