商品簡介
The Early Modern Horse network held the conference The Renaissance Horse, in London during June 2009 to mark retirement of social historian Edwards from Roehampton University. Scholars of history, art history, and literature explore horsemanship and status, horse breeding, and horse-human identities. Among the topics are equestrian iconography and the training of horse, rider, and reader; the legacy of Federico Grisone; the horse in Africa in the 16th and 17th centuries; equine imagery in Shakespeare's Henriad; and the military value of horses and the social value of the horse in early modern England.
