Excellent- More about Gender and the 'Natural' Environment in the Middle Ages
The later Middle Ages in Europe c.1150–c.1500 was an extensive scientific laboratory, with scholars and writers producing texts that sought to define and redefine the human body in relation to its daily work and environment, and in relation to God. This volume draws on written and visual evidence from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries, placing gender at the center of its enquiries and addressing the relationship between the human and the 'natural' at a time when new worlds, texts, and religious experiences were reshaping the individual and collective relationship with the cosmos.

The later Middle Ages in Europe, spanning approximately from 1150 to 1500, can be considered an extensive scientific laboratory, where scholars and other writers engaged in a tireless pursuit to define and redefine the human body in various contexts. These texts aimed to understand the body's relationship with its daily tasks, the surrounding environment, and its ultimate connection to God. This captivating volume harnesses a wealth of written and visual evidence from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries, placing gender at its core. It delves into the intricate relationship between humans and the natural world, encompassing both the human and non-human elements. At a time when new worlds, new texts, and new religious experiences were reshaping the individual and collective relationship with the cosmos, this volume challenges and reinforces established hierarchies. By examining the diverse perspectives and experiences of men and women during this period, it sheds light on the complex interplay between gender, religion, and the broader cultural landscape of the Middle Ages. Through its comprehensive analysis, this volume offers valuable insights into the human body's role in shaping society and the universe during this transformative era.
