ISBN: 9783110285369 - Rural Space in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Age: The Spacial Turn in Premodern Studies (fundamentals of Medieval and Early Modern Culture): 9 (19 results)

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. The book examines how rural environments shaped premodern life—socially, economically, artistically, and imaginatively. Contributors explore the interaction between peasants and aristocrats, the symbolic and practical roles of the countryside, the impact of natural forces, and the ways rural landscapes appear in literature, art, and historical documents. The volume highlights how rural space was not peripheral but central to medieval and early modern identity, influencing everything from utopian imagination to class relations. 🌾 Why It Matters This volume is part of the respected Fundamentals of Medieval and Early Modern Culture series and represents one of the most comprehensive treatments of rural life in premodern Europe. Scholars value it for its ecocritical approach, its integration of social‑historical analysis, and its demonstration that rural environments were deeply intertwined with courtly culture, urban development, and artistic production. Retail pricing from major sellers ranges from $130 to over $230, reflecting the high institutional value and limited print runs typical of De Gruyter monographs. Because rural studies have become increasingly important in medieval scholarship, this volume remains relevant for researchers and libraries seeking to expand holdings in environmental humanities and premodern cultural studies. 🎯 Ideal For Medievalists & early modern historians studying environment, class, or social structures Ecocritics examining nature, landscape, and environmental influence in premodern texts Literary scholars analyzing rural motifs, pastoral themes, or peasant‑court interactions Art historians exploring depictions of countryside, agriculture, or natural forces University libraries replacing or expanding holdings in medieval cultural studies Collectors of De Gruyter academic monographs seeking scarce, high‑value volumes.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Older research on the premodern world limited its focus on the Church, the court, and, more recently, on urban space. The present volume invites readers to consider the meaning of rural space, both in light of ecocritical readings and social-historical approaches. While previous scholars examined the figure of the peasant in the premodern world, the current volume combines a large number of specialized studies that investigate how the natural environment and the appearance of members of the rural population interacted with the world of the court and of the city. The experience in rural space was important already for writers and artists in the premodern era, as the large variety of scholarly approaches indicates. The present volume signals how much the surprisingly close interaction between members of the aristocratic and of the peasant class determined many literary and art-historical works. In a surprisingly large number of cases we can even discover elements of utopia hidden in rural space. We also observe how much the rural world was a significant element already in early-medieval mentality. Moreover, as many authors point out, the impact of natural forces on premodern society was tremendous, if not catastrophic.…
