The Culture of the Horse - Status, Discipline, and Identity in the Early Modern World
Palgrave USASivumäärä: 371 sivuaAsu: Kovakantinen kirjaPainos: 2005Julkaisuvuosi: 2005, 04.03.2005 (lisätietoa)Kieli: Englanti This volume fills an important gap in the analysis of early modern history and culture by reintroducing scholars to the significance of the horse. A more complete understanding of the role of horses and horsemanship is absolutely crucial to our understanding of the early modern world. Each essay in the collection provides a snapshot of how horse culture and the broader culture - that tapestry of images, objects, structures, sounds, gestures, texts, and ideas - articulate. Without knowledge of how the horse figured in all these aspects, no version of political, material, or intellectual culture in the period can be entirely accurate.
