Description: A cutting-edge collection of medievalist ecocriticism focused on the intersections of land, life, and law in medieval English, French, and Latin literature.
Review Quotes: "Schiff and Taylor present a diverse and stimulating group of interconnected essays attending to the operations of Foucauldian 'biopolitics' and competing notions of sovereignty within an ecocritical framework, with each essay situating aspects of medieval (premodern) literature and culture at the center of its analysis." -- Jonathan Hsy, author of Trading Tongues: Merchants, Multilingualism, and Medieval Literature (OSU Press)
