This book examines the distinct role of nature in art and literature during the Middle Ages in Europe. The author locates the beginning of a spiritualized Christian naturalism in this period, noting its expression in the architecture of cathedrals, where the natural world is represented as a symbol of the divine. The author contrasts this approach to the classical Greek model, which rejected the influence of nature in favor of ideal forms. The book explores how various medieval literary genres, from troubadour poetry to epic poems, reflect this evolving relationship between humanity and the natural world, providing insights into the complex and multifaceted worldview of the Middle Ages and its enduring influence on Western literature and thought.
