### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Scholarly, but very interesting
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2024*

I love animals, and I’m an art history/ middle ages nerd, so — wish the book had more pictures, but the citations are so thorough that I bet I can find primary-source images online.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    This was a great doctoral disertation
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2016*

This was a great doctoral disertation, now it boiled down to a great read.  For the casual reader, though, it is Medieval Cats all the way.It is dear and all cats enjoy it immensely.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Beastly good...
  

*by R***D on Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2017*

Drawing primarily upon later medieval documentary sources and visual representations, Walker-Meikle demonstrates that the keeping of companion animals (as we learn there was no medieval equivalent for the word ‘pet’) was commonplace amongst certain groups – elite secular women, ecclesiastics, and scholars. The first part of the book charts how these animals were acquired, their welfare, the expenses that were lavished upon them, and the spaces they occupied. This section is copiously illustrated with captivating anecdotes which highlight the sentimentality felt towards animals. The second half of the book explores in more depth two evidential strands which cast light upon medieval pet keeping practice: iconography and literature.Despite the lack of a detailed critical appraisal of some of the sources (which also only reflect upon the upper classes of medieval society), the book brings into focus the entangled relationships between certain groups of people and certain animals in medieval Europe and emphasises how they were bound up in the construction of human social identities, often as manifestations of social status
