A groundbreaking examination of ecological thought in medieval England. While the scale of todayâ€™s crisis is unprecedented, environmental catastrophe is nothing new. Waste and the Wasters studies the late Middle Ages, when a convergence of land contraction, soil depletion, climate change, pollution, and plague subsumed Western Europe. In a culture lacking formal scientific methods, the task of explaining and coming to grips with what was happening fell to medieval poets. The poems they wrote used the terms â€œwasteâ€ or â€œwastersâ€ to anchor trenchant critiques of peopleâ€™s unsustainable relationships with the world around them and with each other. In this book, Eleanor Johnson shows how poetry helped medieval people understand and navigate the ecosystemic crisesâ€”both material and spiritualâ€”of their time.
