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. 410 0$aArc reference. 606 $aAnimals in literature 606 $aEnglish literature$yOld English, ca. 450-1100$xHistory and criticism 610 $aOld English Literature, Animals, Anglo-Saxon England, Medieval Literature, Bestiary. 615 0$aAnimals in literature. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.93362 700 $aPreston$b Todd$01549332 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910795744403321 996 $aA Handbook of Animals in Old English Texts$93807276 997 $aUNINA
