They might be eating under an oak tree, or out in a field. They might be in the street, with the swineherd close behind at their heels. They might be dismembered, for sale by a butcher. They might be represented on misericords, in a church or cathedral, dancing, playing the bagpipes, or suckling people. Pigs were in all these places. But what was the pig's place? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book considers pigs in medieval Europe from a number of angles: whether part of the countryside, the cityscape, on the plate or in the mind. Drawing on a rich wealth of sources, both textual and material, it examines in particular the paradoxes that the pig presented: both good and bad, fecund\/fornicator, noble\/filthy. It uncovers the pig's numerous roles in medieval society, how pigs shaped human life, and how humans shaped theirs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dolly J?rgensen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1837651426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781837651429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.38d","brand":"Dolly J?rgensen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46602954998015,"sku":"9781837651429","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_288ccf44-d801-4b8a-83c0-e27b54b2205c.jpg?v=1739695776","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-medieval-pig-dolly-jrgensen-9781837651429","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
