Summary "The Development of the Feeling for Nature in the Middle Ages and Modern Times" by Alfred Biese is a historical account that was written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the evolution of humanity's relationship with nature, exploring how this feeling has changed from antiquity through the Middle Ages to modern times, with a focus on various epochs and the literary expressions of those sentiments. The opening of the text establishes Biese's intentions and context for this exploration. He discusses the historical significance of nature in human life, noting how physical landscapes are reflected in cultural outputs and emotional responses. Biese sets the stage for a rigorous investigation into various civilizations' interactions with nature, emphasizing the pivotal role of literature as a window into a society's feelings toward the natural world. He also highlights the tension between the transcendental views of Christianity and the more intimate views rooted in earlier pagan traditions, suggesting that these themes will be examined further throughout the work.
