Far from the forest primeval of popular imagination, the historians and literary scholars in this book describe a Western European landscape just as consciously constructed by its inhabitants as any modern landscape - physically, conceptually, and spiritually. All appearing for the first time in print, their essays provide a wealth of detail on this ""deep ecology"" of the Middle Ages and a better understanding of the creativity and skill of our cultural ancestors.
