Howe, John, and Michael Wolfe, eds. Inventing Medieval Landscapes: Senses of Place in Western Europe. Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 2002.
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. — University Press of Florida website.
