The historical horse is at once material and abstract, as is the notion of the border. Borders and frontiers are not only markers delineating geographical spaces but also mental constructs: there are borders between order and disorder, between what is permitted and what is prohibited. Boundaries and liminal spaces also exist in the material, economic, political, moral, legal and religious spheres. In this volume, the contributing authors explore the theme of the liminality of the horse in all of these historical arenas, asking how one reconciles the very different roles played by the horse in human history.

Reviewed by the Times Literary Supplement "The ten essays in The Liminal Horse recover some of the forgotten aspects of equine material culture. This varied and wide-ranging collection encompasses Bronze Age horse domestication in southern Scandinavia, horsemanship in the Roman empire, late Iron Age Irish bit design and the first English translation of a section of a thirteenth-century training manual."
