Book Synopsis Parks in Medieval England by : S.A. Mileson
Download or read book Parks in Medieval England written by S.A. Mileson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-16 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parks were prominent and, indeed, controversial features of the medieval countryside, but they have been unevenly studied and remain only partly understood. Stephen Mileson provides the first full-length study of the subject, examining parks across the country and throughout the Middle Ages in their full social, economic, jurisdictional, and landscape context. The first half of the book investigates the purpose of these royal and aristocratic reserves, which have been variously claimed as hunting grounds, economic assets, landscape settings for residences, and status symbols. An emphasis on the aristocratic passion for the chase as the key motivation for park-making provides an important challenge to more recent views and allows for a deeper appreciation of the connection between park-making and the expression of power and lordship. The second part of the book examines the impact of park creation on wider society, from the king and aristocracy to peasants and townsmen. Instead of the traditional emphasis on the importance of royal regulation, greater attention is paid to the effects of lordly park-making on other members of the landed elite and ordinary people. These widespread enclosures interfered with customary uses of woodland and waste, hunting practices, roads and farming; not surprisingly, they could become a focus for aristocratic feud, popular protest and furtive resistance. Combining historical, archaeological, and landscape evidence, this ground-breaking study provides fresh insight into contemporary values and how they helped to shape the medieval landscape.
Book Synopsis To the Last Drop - Affective Economies of Extraction and Sentimentality by : Axelle Germanaz
Download or read book To the Last Drop - Affective Economies of Extraction and Sentimentality written by Axelle Germanaz and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The romance of extraction underlies and partly defines Western modernity and our cultural imaginaries. Combining affect studies and environmental humanities, this volume analyzes societies' devotion to extraction and fossil resources. This devotion is shaped by a nostalgic view on settler colonialism as well as by contemporary »affective economies« (Sara Ahmed). The contributors examine the links between forms of extractivism and gendered discourses of sentimentality and the ways in which cultural narratives and practices deploy the sentimental mode (in plots of attachment, sacrifice, and suffering) to promote or challenge extractivism.

Book Synopsis "Landscapes of Lordship" by : Robert Liddiard
Download or read book "Landscapes of Lordship" written by Robert Liddiard and published by BAR British Series. This book was released on 2000 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this detailed study, Liddiard examines the processes and factors which determined the number, distribution and location of castles and considers how a castle's construction altered its environment. Using structures such as Castle Acre, Castle Rising, Middleton and Horsford as examples, Liddiard suggests that the location of most of Norfolk's castles was shaped by social factors and not military considerations. Castles were primarily intended to act as residences even though they were designed to dramatically dominate the landscape.

Book Synopsis The Medieval Park by : Robert Liddiard
Download or read book The Medieval Park written by Robert Liddiard and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The park - a feature of the landscape we always associate with the hunting of deer - played an important role in the psyche of Britain's medieval aristocracy. This well-illustrated book offers a reappraisal of the park by a new generation of landscape researchers, who use a diversity of approaches to assess its economy, ecology and social role. They show how parks actually had many functions other than deer management and hunting; they were integrated into the wider rural economy, and also provided a means by which seigniorial control of the landscape might be demonstrated. They varied considerably across Britain, and are of considerable conservation significance today.
