Ellen F. Arnold is a historian who studies the medieval period in Europe, focusing on how people understood, used, and were affected by rivers and water systems from roughly late antiquity through the Middle Ages. Her work combines environmental history with the study of medieval texts, including religious and literary writings about nature. A large part of her recent output is a book on medieval riverscapes in France (Gaul) spanning several centuries, published as a series of linked chapters.
