出版社によるあらすじ
(An) important and engaging book. (...) Dominic Alexander's examination of the genre of saint and animal tale provides an interpretive model which furthers our understanding of the composition, folklore, and cultural context of medieval hagiography. It is a most welcome contribution to the field. JOURNAL OF ENGLISH & GERMANIC PHILOLOGY Concise and well-written. (It) is a valuable resource for historians of the Middle Ages or for the history of Christianity. CHURCH HISTORY (The author) reinstates social history into the core of the study of the cult of saints, something that gives his book a larger value than the - assuredly fascinating - story of the interrelation between saints and animals in hagiography.

ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW A work that should stimulate further thinking on the ever-fascinating study of the relationship between humans and animals. CATHOLIC HISTORICAL REVIEW Concise and well-written. (...) A valuable resource for historians of the Middle Ages or for the history of Christianity. CHURCH HISTORYThis fine book is much more than a study of animals in medieval Hagiography.

SPECULUMAstonishes through its sheer range of meticulously assembled material, and will become a standard work. TLS 続きを読む
