Biography
Ellen F. Arnold is a medieval environmental historian with a focus on religion and water and is a Senior Lecturer of History at The Ohio State University, USA. She is the author of Medieval Riverscapes (2024) and Negotiating the Landscape (2012), and the co-editor of the journal Water History.
"Through Water in World History, medieval environmental historian Ellen Arnold provides a valuable text for scholars interested in teaching about or wanting an introduction to water’s historical significance on a global scale...Overall, Arnold’s Water in World History is the first accessible survey of water history that is of value to both undergraduate students and scholars beginning their study of historical water narratives."
