  Questions of nature, the environment and sustainability are increas-
  ingly important areas of scholarly enquiry in various fields. This 
  exciting new series aims to provide a forum for new work throughout 
  the medieval period broadly defined (c. 400–1500), and covering 
  literature, history, archaeology and other allied disciplines in the 
  humanities. Topics may range from studies of landscape to interac-
  tion with humans, from representations of ‘nature’ in art to ecology, 
  ecotheory, ecofeminism and ecocriticism; monographs and collections 
  of essays are equally welcome.
  Proposals or enquiries may be sent directly to the series editor or to
