The Development of the Feeling for Nature in the Middle Ages and Modern Times

"The Development of the Feeling for Nature in the Middle Ages and Modern Times" by Alfred Biese is a historical exploration of how people's emotions about nature have grown and changed over time. The book looks at different time periods, from ancient times through the Middle Ages to more recent eras. It focuses on how feelings about the natural world show up in literature. It sets out to explore the important connection between the landscape around us and how it affects our culture and feelings. The book suggests that literature is a way to understand how societies felt about nature, and it also points to the tension between Christian beliefs and older, more personal views of nature from pagan times, hinting that these ideas will be talked about more later on.
