Introduction. Ecocritical Sensibilities and Spanish Medieval Texts; Part I -- Nature Untamed; Chapter One. The Forest of Corpes: Poema de Mio Cid; Chapter Two. Desert and Mountains: Vida de Santa Maria Egipciaca, Vida de Santo Domingo de Silos, and Vida de San Millán de la Cogolla; Chapter Three. The Sea: Libro de Alexandre and the Cantigas de Santa Maria; Part II -- Nature Tamed; Chapter Four. The Urban Garden: Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea; Chapter Five. Fields: Cantigas de Santa Maria, Milagros de Nuestra Señora, Poema de Mio Cid, and Libro de Alexandre; Part III: Nature Stylized. Chapter Six. Spiritual locus amoenus: Milagros de Nuestra SeñoraChapter Seven. Sensual locus amoenus: Razón de amor con los denuestos del agua y el vino; Chapter Eight. Idealized Countryside: Laus Hispaniae in Poema de Fernán González and Estoria de España; Conclusions; Works Cited; Illustrations; Index.
Ecocriticism as a theoretical model has primarily been used in the study of Romantic, post-Romantic, and contemporary literary texts. Applications of the concepts of ecocriticism to medieval literature, however, are a fairly recent phenomenon. This book examines key, canonical works from medieval Spain with an eye to authors' depictions, realistic and symbolic, of their natural surroundings. It shows how descriptions of the natural world in these texts are informed by both the authors' perceptions of the environment and established literary models.
