Author Information

David Salter teaches medieval and Renaissance English literature at the University of Edinburgh. His research covers a number of different historical periods and literary and artistic forms, although the recurring theme that unites his diverse interests is the relationship between religion and literature, and in particular the representation of sainthood. He is the author of Holy and Noble Beasts: Encounters with Animals in Medieval Literature (D. S. Brewer, 2001).
