Wackerss concise introduction on relevant medieval knowledge, pictures and literary texts is an excellent starting point for those who want to get on the historical trails of this fascinating - although elusive - animal."-- "Michael Waltenberger, Chair of German Medieval Literature, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich""Prepare to be outfoxed, as an expert tracker follows the fox in the circuitous twists of his medieval development. On this fascinating hunt, Paul Wackers finds all the lairs of this creature in learned lore and literature, especially romance, where the fox became Reynard."-- "Jan Ziolkowski, Arthur Kingsley Porter Professor of Medieval Latin, Harvard University" Details ISBN1786839881 Author Paul Wackers Pages 128 Series Medieval Animals Language English Year 2023 ISBN-10 1786839881 ISBN-13 9781786839886 Format Paperback Publication Date 2023-02-15 UK Release Date 2023-02-15 Imprint University of Wales Press Place of Publication Wales Country of Publication United Kingdom NZ Release Date 2023-02-15 Publisher University of Wales Press Alternative 9781786839893 DEWEY 809.9336297750902 Audience Professional & Vocational AU Release Date 2023-05-24 Illustrations Not illustrated We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
