Description
A groundbreaking examination of ecological thought in medieval England. While the scale of today's crisis is unprecedented, environmental catastrophe is nothing new. Waste and the Wasters studies the late Middle Ages, when a convergent crisis of land contraction, soil depletion, climate change, pollution, and plague eclipsed Western Europe. In a cultural lacking formal scientific methods, the task of explaining and coming to grips with what was happening fell to medieval poets.

In this book, Eleanor Johnson shows how poetry helped medieval people understand and navigate the ecosystemic crises--both material and spiritual--of their time.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
