In medieval literature, when humans and animals meet - whether as friends or foes - issues of mastery and submission are often at stake. This title shows how the concept of sovereignty comes to the fore in such narratives, reflecting larger concerns about relations of authority and dominion at play in both human-animal and human-human interactions. Peggy McCracken discusses a range of literary texts and images from medieval France.
