商品描述

The Crusades and Nature: Natural and Supernatural Environments in the Middle Ages explores the intersection of crusader studies and studies of nature. The volume addresses encounters with, responses to and representations of a broad variety of phenomena: celestial objects and events; familiar and unfamiliar fauna and flora; seascapes and landscapes; the elements and the seasons; etc. It introduces readers to crusaders' actual, but also largely or entirely imaginary encounters with natural phenomena, as well as literary references to nature in crusader sources more generally (such as, for example, animal metaphors). Finally, this project investigates the relationships between the natural and the supernatural and between nature and human-made environments. The volume will define "crusades" broadly, to include not only crusades to the East, but also crusades to frontier regions such as the Baltic and Iberian peninsula and extends to representations of crusades and nature in later medieval and early modern sources.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《十字軍與自然：中世紀的自然與超自然環境》探討了十字軍研究與自然研究的交集。本書討論了對各種現象的遭遇、回應和描繪：天體物體和事件；熟悉和陌生的動植物；海景和山水；元素和季節等等。它向讀者介紹了十字軍實際上與自然現象的相遇，以及十字軍文獻中對自然的文學引用（例如動物隱喻）。最後，本書研究了自然與超自然之間以及自然與人造環境之間的關係。本書將廣泛定義「十字軍」，不僅包括對東方的十字軍遠征，還包括對邊境地區（如波羅的海和伊比利亞半島）的十字軍遠征，並延伸到中世紀後期和早期現代文獻中對十字軍和自然的描繪。
