Hunting was a major economic and leisure activity throughout the European Middle Ages, and while aristocratic practices have featured in studies of romantic and narrative literature, hunting in its wider sense, across the social spectrum with attendant male and female roles, has larged been ignored by modern medieval historians. Richard Almond's study brings vividly to life the universality and centrality of hunting to medieval societies, both as an economic necessity and as an expression of medieval humanity's amost atavistic sense of oneness with nature. Medieval Hunting dispels some of the myths and misunderstandings about hunting, including the persistent view that it was exclusively an aristocratic pursuit and a male one at that. Using a wide variety of contemporary textual and art historical evidence, Richard Almond demonstrates convincingly that hunting, including fishing and all manner of poaching, was enjoyed by all classes, and by women as well as men.

The Medieval Hunt Explored

By J.B. on October 19, 2003

Format: Hardcover

If you are familiar with Cummins "Hound and Hawk", this book is an excellent companion. It broadens Cummins exploritaries into the "whys" and "reasons" and gives further light to the "whos" and "hows".
If you are not familiar with Cummins, this book is an excellent primer into the world of the medieval hunt. It explores a broad expanse of the world of the medieval hunt including the notions of the nobility as well as the peasantry and touching (teasingly!) on female participation. It covers many of the "accepted" techniques of the gentleman as well as some of the more "wiley" practices of the peasant poacher.
Over all, I found this to be a well rounded and informative study with ample illustrations and a generous bibliography for the serious student or amature historian.

Interesting overview of the topic.

By Culper, Jr. on November 5, 2013

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

Very, very interesting history. I have always loved the medieval period, but had never read anything specific about hunting. Great stuff, and well illustrated.

Not well illustrated

By Torian on January 13, 2012

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

I was hoping for rather more illustrations on the subject than the few coloured inserts that were provided, but the book itself is well written and useful.
