Description

The Mark of the Beast explores the medieval bestiary as a pivotal work of didactic religious literature that shaped Christian and secular thought across all social classes. This scholarly collection examines bestiaries through dual literary and art historical lenses, investigating how medieval writers and artists used animal symbolism to address fundamental human concerns including kinship, romance, sexuality, mortality, and spiritual afterlife. Published by Routledge as part of the Garland Library of Medieval Literature series, the essays within provide comprehensive analysis of how bestiary traditions influenced medieval intellectual life and continue to illuminate our understanding of medieval culture, spirituality, and artistic expression.
