{"product_id":"medieval-pets-kathleen-walker-meikle-9781783275694","title":"Medieval Pets","description":"An engaging and informative survey of medieval pet keeping which also examines their representation in art and literature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnimals in the Middle Ages have often been discussed - but usually only as a source of food, as beasts of burden, or as aids for hunters. This book takes a completely different angle, showing that they were also beloved domestic companions to their human owners, whether they were dogs, cats, monkeys, squirrels, and parrots. It offers a full survey of pets and pet-keeping: from how they were acquired, kept, fed, exercised, and displayed, to the problems they could cause. It also examines the representation of pets and their owners in art and literature; the many charming illustrations offer further evidence for the bonds between humans and their pets, then as now. A wide range of sources, including chronicles, letters, sermons and poems, are used in what is both an authoritative and entertaining account.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathleen Walker-Meikle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783275693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783275694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.80h x 8.80w x 0.60d","brand":"Kathleen Walker-Meikle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989255225599,"sku":"9781783275694","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_11504971-2a58-40a5-8237-818fbe6238d8.jpg?v=1683298460","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/medieval-pets-kathleen-walker-meikle-9781783275694","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
