The Materiality of the Horse cover

Inspired by our age-old fascination with equids, Materiality of the Horse brings the latest academic research in equine history to a wider readership. Themes examined within the book by specialist contributors include explorations of material culture relating to horses and what this discloses about the horse-human relationship; fresh observations on significant medieval horse-related texts from Europe and the Islamic world; and revealing insights into the effect of the introduction of horses into indigenous cultures in South America. Thought-provoking and original, Materiality of the Horse is the second volume in Trivent Publishing's innovative Rewriting Equestrian History series.

The Materiality of the Horse brings life and three dimensions to our understanding of the Medieval horse. Clichés are overturned and new perspectives opened up. We understand the very different case studies from all over the world both at a theoretical level and in details that give us a sense of immediacy."" - Dr. Susanna Forrest, Author of The Age of the Horse: An Equine Journey through Human History

""From cover to cover, this book provides a highly readable and riveting account of the horse-human relationship in three contexts. From the breeding and management of horses in a range of time and place, to literary representations, to an exploration of archaeological understanding, each chapter provides well-researched and insightful account on the significance of the horse-human relationship."" - Dr. Sarah Sargent, University of Buckingham
