Medieval Hunting

by Richard Almond

"Medieval Hunting dispels some of the myths and misunderstandings about hunting, including the view that it was chiefly an aristocratic pursuit, and a male one at that. Richard Almond shows that hunting (in which he includes fishing, hawking, and poaching) was enjoyed by all classes, and by women as well as men. Using a variety of sources, the author offers a detailed picture of a pre-urban world from which the modern age has much to learn in terms of land use and conservation." "Lively, informative, and illustrated, this unique study is essential for medieval and social historians, and also has much to offer those interested in the countryside and modern fieldsports."--BOOK JACKET.
